Oasis or University

You just got done with a multi-variable calc test, dazed and confused you start to walk back to your dorm. Your mind is shot from the complexity of the test, you have no idea where you are walking, and you just walk to walk. When you finally come to, you have no idea where you are. You are walk

ing in a grove of trees; nothing but tall mature trees surround you. To your right a path goes off into a thick forest. Up ahead you can see

the break in the trees. When you come out you are staring straight at what looks like a fairy tale castle. Next to this, a cemetery straight out of a Zelda game, where I am sure if I went and kicked over one of the tomb stones I would definitely find a ruby.

Where could I possibly be that has such a majestic panorama? Certainly a college campus was far from my thoughts, but that’s just exactly where I was. I recently took a trip to IU

to visit some friends of mine. My

sister attended IU and I had been there many times, but I never realized how beautiful of a campus they had. Grant it I love my campus, but it’s nothing compared to IU’s. The limestone buildings in all their glory, mature trees, and hilly backdrop make IU an oasis for students. If my school and IU had the same programs of

study I would most definitely choose it over my school.
