Iowa State University offers a large campus. The campus itself entirely is around the size of my hometown. I have lived on campus for a few weeks now, and I know most of the campus, yet spend most of my time in my dorm. Whenever I am not in my dorm or in class though, I often find myself wandering around campus. When wandering around campus I usually look for the best spots for me just in case I want to sit around and relax. Of my favorite spots to visit, they are closer and very appealing to see. They however are also very popular places to visit, so many students visit them. What I mean by closer, is that these places are not too far away from my dorm on campus. I live in the Wilson Hall dormitory, known as one of the Towers, and it is quite far from the main campus. Seeing as I walk everyday to and from the main campus to and from my dorm, I tend to walk the same route, as to shorten the walk time it takes and be familiar with the area. On days I walk to my favorite spot, which is the second concrete bench next to the Campanile, and I just sit there for hours and relax. Wilson Hall’s dining hall is called Storms, and is located maybe 80-100 yards North of Wilson. As I leave through the North East exit of Wilson Hall, I cross the diagonal sidewalk running from Wilson to Storm’s East Entrance/Exit. I tend to eat supper at Storms, and as I exit through the same entrance, I leave and grab an apple to eat along the way heading to the Campanile. I walk up Welch Street,
Traveling is one of my family’s favorite things to do. The family has visited numerous places throughout the United States, however, none are as memorable as Atlanta, Georgia. In Atlanta, there are many places to go and sights to see such as: Cola-cola factory, Cabbage Patch Kids Factory, Under Ground Mall, the Zoo, Atlanta Braves Stadium, Six Flags Over Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, and the Atlanta Aquarium, are all in or near the city of Atlanta. The three that we visit on every trip to Atlanta are Six Flags, Stone Mountain, and the Atlanta Aquarium.

There are certain spots around campus that scream Iowa State like Hilton Coliseum, Jack Trice Stadium, and you can't forget the Memorial Union with the view of the Campineal right past the fountain. Those places are a sight to see and one of the perks of the campus, but that is not the spot I enjoy most about the Iowa State campus. The place that is really special to me personally are the Larch dorms. The fifth floor in particular. It is the place where I spend most of my time, and yes that is because it is where I am living, but I really enjoy living here. The dorm environment is great. You meet tons of new people and on the fifth floor of Larch, everyone's door is always open. Even if you are not in the dorms, there are still multiple opportunities to meet new people. We are about two weeks into the
Every day, thousands of Iowa State University students walk past what has become one of the University’s most iconic buildings, Catt Hall. With its older style of architecture and design, most people would agree that it is more visually appealing than most of the buildings at Iowa State. This building also has a lot of history behind it. From its multiple name changes and landscaping additions, to all of the different services it has provided for the University over the years, and how it is a symbol of women’s history, Catt Hall has become an essential part of Iowa State and really set itself apart from the other buildings on Iowa State’s campus.
The University of Illinois and Southern Illinois University both have beautiful campus’s. The University of Illinois is located in the middle of Urbana and Champaign area. For those who may not know where this is, it is surrounded by cornfields. Of course the two cities are right there, but once the city limits come to an end, the only view is cornfields and nothing else. However, getting over the fact that it is surrounded by cornfields, the campus itself is amazing. Since the University is quite old, the buildings have kept the same architect as before. There are twenty-two university resident halls and fifteen private housing buildings. The dorm halls are not too far away from the academic buildings, but on a cold,winter day it may feel like the buildings are miles away. During the winter, they receive a lot of snow. The weather at the University is similar to Chicago's weather. Besides the weather, at the center of the campus there is a quad and a bell tower. The quad is unusual. When they first built the campus, in the center of the building, there was a grass covered area. As the college grew, this became the quad. The quad is used for students to walk to class and relax in. The University noticed as the students were walking through the quad, the grass was getting worn out and just turning to mud. So, the University decided to put sidewalks where they noticed the

Soon, I was unpacking my items into one of the hundreds or maybe even thousands of SUNY Oswego dorms. When I entered room four twenty-four sudden shock hit me. I thought, “I have to live in this for the next year?!” I was startled and felt the need to back away from this “prison-like” room. I remember my favorite part of the college tours was when they showed us the dorms. I would
I visited the dorms, cafeteria, pool and gym. I got to observe a class in culinary arts. I was invited to stay and bake cookies. I spoke to the instructor and decided I would not go to any other vocation. As I love to bake and this was the place for me. There
Everyone in college has an own special place on campus. This place may be a productive space where you do a majority schoolwork or a place maybe next to a prominent sculpture or historical place on campus. This place may bring back memories from home or might also even be a place you go to get away from the monotony of college life.
These areas can range from private rooms in the library, or rooms all around campus. These spaces are available for students to book online through the Durham College website. Your room can be booked by just a click away. If you need a power point printed for the next class no problem, you can go to the computer lab where there are tons of computers there for your convenience. All you have to do to print off your documents is put in your student number and Durham supplies you with $30 at the start of the year to use to print off anything you need, which only costs you a few cents each time! If you even want a more quiet study space you can enjoy some peace and quiet in the library. You’ll find many desks, couches, and study areas to sit down and finish your homework. Durham has the utmost events for students to let loose and make new friends, services to go to when they’re having troubles, and even study areas for students to go to when there’s no place quiet or comfortable enough to do
With a large, 190-acre campus, it offers housing in the form of four residence halls dedicated to housing undergraduates and a new set of four residential towers that house sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Aside from the new towers, the campus is made up of six educational buildings in total that are all designed to look like castles. The buildings include the residential hall, Hinkle hall, Logan hall, Albers hall, Lidner hall, and Schott hall. Each is dedicated to a specific learning department, aside from the residential hall and Schott hall, which is the home of the financial aid center, admissions department, and four smaller educational departments.
There is no other place that can give me so quiet moment except in the library. It is the place that inspires me and gives me more concentration to do my homework and reading assignments. I live near to the memorial union, which is an important section of the university, so I use it as a sign to start my trip to the library every day. I prefer walking to the library and I go across the memorial union from the left side, then I turn left and continue walking until I see Carver Hall, the place where I take my math class, then I turn left. After that I turn to the right and walk while Beardshear Hall, a building where there is the office of the president of the university, is next to my right. Then I keep walking until I see the library in front of me. I usually go to the first floor where there are a lot of computers that anyone can use. I just turn on a computer and start doing my
When I first started college, the first thing I saw as I walked with my parents and all of my luggage to my new room was an empty lounge. It looked like the kind of place that was supposed to resemble the living room of a house, but it felt bare and unused. Because of the large wooden wall, the area felt cut off and separate, so for the first few weeks of college, I spent more time in my room, alone, rather than out in the lounge where a few people congregated to talk. As the semester pushed forward, I pushed myself to venture out into the lounge more in order to make friends on my floor.
I started by heading to central campus where I like to set up a hammock in the warm months and relax in between classes. This spot was nice and relaxing but besides for the occasional student walking by, nothing exciting happened, so I headed on my way. This took me to one of my favorite building areas which is right by Troxel Hall and Horticulture Hall. I love walking by this area and figured it would be a great spot for my plot, but again nothing caught my eye. I tried out a few other spots including a bench by Lake Laverne, and a spot by Design. In the end when I was walking to the library to start studying for my upcoming test I saw a big group of people surrounding
