How should I describe University of Newcastle campus. Like what Paul said, it's one of a kind in the world! I won't dispute that after being in and out of it.
I would describe it as a university set in a botanical garden because there is so many trees and thick foliage. Even from a bird eye view, there is so much green.There are a lot of pebble-finished footpaths, lot of narrow but rather long bridges and lots of external staircases. At least, that's my impression!
But, I am especially impressed by the Barahineban hostel design. It is well ventilated, a lot of green and good roof-top facilities for residents' get-together and hostel functions. It is also solar-powered with panels installed on the roof. I wish the 5th College which I stayed in MU way back in the 70's was like that.
Any unusual building? well, probably the red building is one of them. I heard this is part of the Architecture Faculty.
Of course, beer is plentiful in the campus! At least now I have a better feel of the routine of Paul in the campus. Well, if there is not enough tennis, walking around the campus would compensate for that.
mum you look good in your coat and red scarf!
