OhSnapz,

I’m a grad student at UCSD. It’s not like I don’t have a stake in UCSD’s facilities. In my opinion, and I am certainly entitled to it, UCSD’s campus is not well-planned or terribly attractive and it hurts its ability to present a positive image. When it comes down to two schools, and one has markedly superior aesthetics than the other, many people, including grad students and faculty, will choose the prettier campus. If you have to spend hours upon hours a day on a campus, you want it to be visually appealing.

This is why I am so vocal about UCSD’s lack of visual appeal: because it matters.
