This is Buchanan, where my Italian classes are held.
Notice the address marker says Main Mall and this entrance is on East Mall. Addresses are a constant problem on campus. People are forever stopping me as I walk across campus to ask if I know were some address is.
The problem is, I'm a campus person. I spent four years living here when I was a student and I've worked here for two and a half years now. Which means, like most campus people, I don't know the addresses of any of the buildings, except maybe my own.
Like this one. I would have no idea where 1866 Main Mall was, but I could tell you in a heart beat how to get to Buchanan. Chemistry, Physics, Forestry, Science One...yup, I know where they are, but I can't tell you their address. A lot of buildings are like Buchanan and are bordered by two or three streets so if you said Buchanan, I could get you there quickly, but if you give me an address, you might just get to take the scenic route!
The poor people asking for directions often have no idea what building they are looking for, because really, what does one do in the Buchanan Building? It's obvious what happens in Chemistry, Physics and Forestry, but Buchanan?
Life on campus...there's really nothing else like it!
