Academics. I know it's easy to sometimes forget the main reason that we're at college, but these next five places that I'm about to mention keep us in check everyday to remind us, that no, college isn't just for socializing... it's also for learning.
1. College of Arts and Sciences (aka "CAS")
Commonly used in the sentence "Shit I have class at CAS, you think I can make it for a 1:00 p.m. class if I leave now (12:55 p.m.)?" You'll need at least seven minutes to walk there. Come mid-February and you'll be cursing the day that you signed up for this class.

2. Center for Communications and Engineering (aka old law school)
"Yeah, I have English in the Center for Communications and Engineering... Where is that?" -Freshman "Don't call it that, it's the old law school" -Upperclassman. The CCE building isn't terrible. When they have the fountain on in the lake, it looks semi-nice. However, when the lake is all dried up...well it looks pretty crappy and depressing.

3. Echlin Center (aka Admissions)
"I have class at Echlin, but I don't know where the f*** that is". While the walk to Echlin is the same distance as the walk to CCE. If I'm being completely honest, you only notice how far the walk is in two situations, one is if it's below zero or if it's a Thursday and you have a night class. You better be sprinting to get back to your dorm before your roomies leave without you.

4. Tator Hall/ Buckman (aka the building that looks like a high school)
"I have class at Tator, so I can leave for class in like 5 minutes and still make it on time".Tator is basically a mini-high school. The hallways and the classrooms have me confused for a second whether I'm back in my hometown or at college; at least the other academic buildings are pretty...Tator is just blah.
Buckman is to Tator as your annoying sibling is to you. I mean sure the walk is a bit further and sometimes people get lost in the circle but come on guys, it's not that bad.

5. Lender School of Business (aka SOB)
"My schedule says I have class in Lender Room 200, but there's only one floor right?" Yes, there only is one floor. The left side is the 200's and the right is the 100's, get it together. The classrooms (if you have windows) have gorgeous views of the Giant for you to stare at and not pay attention to whatever bullsh*t your professor is trying to teach you today.
