But I will be there Saturday if we win tomorrow.

Go, Brick City!

Newark?

Sorry. You'd know this if you grew up in Rochester, otherwise, HUGARA. RIT is called Brick City. Every freaking building on campus (one or two exceptions now) is clad in RIT Orange (it's trademarked) brick. 14 million at last count, including the pavers. More bricks than anyplace except the Great Wall. It benefits a lot from vines IMO. http://www.thetigerbeat.com/blog/?p=134

(HUGARA: Who gives ...)

Let me tell you, it doesn't make it very easy to find things on campus.  ("It's the brick building behind the other brick building.")

Right. I'm only from the sticks outside of Rochester.  Here in CT, where there's nearly zero knowledge of upstate NY, I have to say I'm from "the Rochester area" (see SNL quote below) and even that gets blank stares.  Even when I was at the U of R, I don't think I ever heard the "Brick City" nickname, but I tried not to go out to RITs ugly suburban campus too often.  When I did, I always liked that they publicly displayed their DIII hockey championship trophies...I think it was either in a student center or a library or something.  I still can't believe the internets voted that campus the winner of the Google Trike contest over Princeton or Stanford, because which campus would you rather look at? Such is irrational internet voting at a tech school.

Jon Stewart did a piece about the Museum of Play placing toys into its Hall of Fame, and had a line to the effect of "Why don't you folks in Rochester get your heads out of your garbage plates?"

RIT still having banners, trophies, etc from D3 is cool, although it was a bit confusing when the RIT News story referred to the Tigers making their "14th trip to [the] 'big dance'".

At Indiana University in Bloomington, IN, almost all of the buildings are made of limestone from a quarry a few miles outside of town. The symmetry and limestone are nice (especially compared to the eclectic and not ivy-covered buildings at Purdue), but as JTW says, it makes finding the building you need to go to a bit harder.

This is also pretty cool: Going for the Triple Crown
