Ugly but excellent

UPenn - I know 3 people who have been mugged/beaten up in the vicinity around Penn - it’s a dangerous area.

Funny, I’ve been here 5 years and that’s 3 more people than I’ve known. Not to say it doesn’t happen–of course it does (muggings, anyway. The only people beating up people are the Penntards caste beating up other Penntards). But it’s not exactly Baghdad.



MIT’s campus consists of rectangular and block-like buildings. Not exactly “ugly,” but not attractive or inspirational either.

I don’t think anything designed by Gehry could be described as rectangular or block-like ;)
