Some people like to hate on GULC, but I really love it.

And you can't beat the views from the top story of the residence hall building. I love DC, though....

It looks alright in that picture (still nothing spectacular) but it is extremely unimpressive in person.Halibut6 wrote:

Re: Best Law School Campus
You've got to be kidding. Of course it's not a Michigan/Cornell/Yale, but I visited this summer while in D.C. and absolutely loved it. The buildings are beautiful and modern, and there are small quads in between each of them - all within a few blocks of the Capitol, Supreme Court, etc. For those who love big cities, GULC is great, and a lot more beautiful/campus-like than, say, Columbia or Chicago.Helmholtz wrote:dude, wtf, seriously? god, that school is an eyesoreHalibut6 wrote:Some people like to hate on GULC, but I really love it.
Anyway, it might not be your cup of tea, but calling it an "eyesore" is a joke.

Re: Best Law School Campus
The SLS campus (on the inside) is quite nice. The library is really very comfortable, and all the chairs in the classrooms are those Aeron chairs. The technology is first rate. I have no complaints.superflush wrote: Okay, maybe that is fair. As I said, I've never been inside the SLS building ... and if it is "meh," than that is a shame, because the rest of the campus is really great. I kind of take into consideration the whole campus (if the school is on a larger campus).
This photo isn't even representative, as there are more individual study carrels than wide tables like this:
(also, if anyone can tell me how to make this smaller, that would be cool)

I'm not sure if you can specify the resolution using the 'Img' tags in the phpBB forum style. If you use something like ImageShack, you can resize for message boards. I've just been grabbing photos from my Picasa Web Albums, and they already have it so I can grab it at that optimum size.ndnlawdc wrote:(also, if anyone can tell me how to make this smaller, that would be cool)

That looks sweet, did they build that in the last year? It's a good way to combat the general lack of sunlight during Michigan winters. UVA has a similar atrium-style commons area (pic on previous page), except they're apparently so concerned that direct sunlight will overheat the area that they keep it meat-locker cold.Helmholtz wrote:As part of my effort to embrace my newfound Michigan trolldom, I present a picture of the in-progress commons area:

brutalist exterior but nicely renovated interior, great library. 1 cafe + 1 dining hall

I believe the new student commons area will be completed in 2011 and the new building they broke ground on earlier this year across the street will be done in 2012.extragnarls wrote:That looks sweet, did they build that in the last year?

Since the Ole Miss law school building is basically integrated with the main campus (until they complete the new buildings), I'll throw it in:

CE2JD, such blatant UVA trolling. 
(UVA does have a great-looking campus, though, I'll grant that. Not that it beats Michigan, of course.)
