Who needs a pretty building when you got awesome nature?
Landon Roberts
Because nobody is interested in paying $40,000 per year and student to have a bigger sports center or whatever you're thinking of.
Evan Myers
Low tuition fees.
Jaxson Watson
the old buildings can still be in use for some but most moved away from their original location if they had one because they were just too small
Aiden Russell
I like my uni desu
Juan Richardson
fugly campus
I am not talking about sport centers. I am talking about the academic campuses
why not expand on them? or make similar buildings instead of different style
Parker Rivera
no space, they were once build outside the city now they're in the city centres
Nicholas Bell
not that aesthetic desu , nice location tho. Could've been more 'italian;
Julian Gray
why?
Caleb Reyes
>fugly campus
But Amazing nature, fun people and good education. Things that really matters.
Liam Murphy
because the cities around them expanded over the last couple of hundred years
Chase Robinson
Europeans post the most attrictive uni in your countries.
In america, I think it's duke
aside from that beautiful scene in the sky , the nature seems average m8.
Also what universities don't have fun people?
Carter Murphy
They don't have "campuses" the way we do in most of the US, it's integrated with the city.
My uni's in the middle of the city, but it's still a really sparse city so there's kind of a campus anyway.
Ironically, schools with campuses in "college towns" have more % of students walking to campus than my school in the middle of a city.
Henry Carter
They lack prestige since they let every bumblefuck in.
Jose King
Because no matter how hard you try, you're not gonna fit 30 thousand students inside the old university building. This isn't the medieval era anymore, every faculty needs buildings of its own.
Ian Foster
it's the same here , every uni does have an expanding town around but in alot of case the towns are not that big , well I guess we do have more space in general
Henry Wilson
t. 70% spic/nigger
Jose Edwards
>stockholm school of architecture
Gabriel Evans
They don't have "college towns" in europe dude. Their schools are usually older than ours and just built in already-established cities.
Adrian Jackson
I know you're mad that France just exposed your national team on the world stage but don't take it out on me, Ahmed.
Ethan Lopez
Looks like a prison
Joshua Gonzalez
that's a meme because surprisingly even tho our unis are more expensive we still have higher university education percentage than most Europeans
Evan Wright
We have no dorms like americans, they are all in the city center.
Nathan Butler
You have modern, sprawling cities you can't move around without a car. Europe's university buildings where built within the confines of the city walls and the old centers are already densely packed with centuries old buildings. There is no room to expand and with rare exceptions, there are no campus towns whatsoever. Universities just open faculties in whichever buildings they can get their hands on, spread all around the city.
Christopher Morgan
ahhh alot of american universites are in the city centers like columbia, upenn, harvard .. and they look ok
Jayden Adams
James Torres
and then you post another meme
everyone having a university degree isn't a good thing, you know
Isaac Wright
Brayden Fisher
I wish we had cozy dense cities.
Or at least just areas in the city that were cozy and dense.
Cooper Carter
Vladivostok University is on its own Island.
Gavin Morris
we carry our weight ok
Cameron Reed
Because the majority of all universities are meh. Just look up the average American university without cherry picking and you'll see it's most likely to be a cinder block, a glass block, or a block of both.
Wyatt Sullivan
>Not appreciating brutalism
Dominic Torres
Cambridge desu
Michael Mitchell
Gabriel King
Stockholm syndrome.
Ryan Brown
Harvard is definitely not in the city center, it's in a suburb and columbia doesn't have near the campus that most American unis have. It's mostly integrated with the city.
Also you just cherry picked the fuck out of some school there. Even in America our urban universities don't have big campuses.
Christian Gonzalez
Peak soviet.
Parker White
This. Good to see fellow comrade with good taste in architecture.
Jonathan Perez
looks awful desu
I didn't imply that, I actually partially agree with you. Alot of americans here want to get a degree even tho they are not worth it. That's why I think it shouldn't be free here.
Grayson Foster
Harvard isn't in the center of boston, but its definitely in a city. Harvard square isn't surrounded by sky scrapers but it's still city.
Jackson Collins
I wasn't talking about size only. I was talking about beauty in general
ewwww
Is this a church?
Christian Walker
Yes
Dylan Jones
i think its this
Austin Lewis
this is my uni rutgers and it's pretty average. Still looks good and is super comfy
Robert Foster
Yeah beautiful, this is how I expected all european unis to look when I was a kid.
Colton Lopez

Jace Ortiz
Nice
Isaac Harris
>he didn't study on Nyenrode
I go there sometimes and the park there is top comfy.
I myself studied at the UvA, the Oudemanshuispoort, where you had to pass through an inconspicuous gate in a wall to find a secret passage to an inner courtyard where the university was.
John Diaz
This.
We usually have 3 types of uni buildings:
19th century ones
commie ones
super new ones
Alexander Taylor
Why didn't Russians build upon Stalinist architecture instead of adopting the ugly glass towers of the business district in the upper left? Modern skyscrapers in general usually don't fit old European cities (few exceptions notwithstanding).
Joshua Wilson
i didn't study at all i'm a fucking pleb
Mason Morales
t. mentally castrated
Joseph Gutierrez
Stalinist architecture is unironically influenced by the american art deco style
Jacob Wood
I wonder where this gate leads..
Nathaniel Flores
Because people don't live in campus
Brandon Perez
Oh, it's a sleeping man with a bunch of books.. Guess there is nothing here.
Thomas Campbell
And then if you go to the left.
William Long
It is, and its buildings still would look better in the place of those glass towers.
Camden Adams
so? The academic buildings can be beautiful too
nice looks like harvard
Levi Flores
Yeah. Newer unis are actually far better in terms of facilities and education. Though the older ones have prestige, they lack space and facilities. This is especially pertinent for many STEM degrees, as younger unis will have extensive and up-to-date tools/facilities for these fields. It's like that here, too. Though often old buildings get mixed with newer ones.
Carson Jackson
whatt did m*t mean by this
here the older unis are the best even in stem desu. They just have a healthy mix of old and new buildings
Christian Foster

Lincoln Diaz
I think it's Rice desu
Christian Torres
UK has some lovely world class universities
Liam Miller
pic related is the university here, dunno if it's good or bad

This looks like the houses the poor people on my country live on, but bigger.
