Bio/Bio at TAMU represents...

Finally, Texas A&M beats t.u. at two things this year... football and campus honors. One blog lists Texas A&M University as one of the 20 ugliest colleges in the USA:

18. Texas A&M- There’s not much wrong this campus except for the lack of color. One poster said it’s essentially “BEIGE BEIGE everywhere…” I couldn’t agree more. And, um, “Aggieland”??? Not exactly an appealing phrase, is it? And on their website, they have an extremely strange lack of pictures of their buildings. Just keep adding fuel to my fire, Texas A&M. Knock yourselves out.

My favorite part? The Biochemistry & Biophysics building (affectionately and uncreatively known as Bio/Bio 'round those parts) is featured on the site. IN PARTICULAR, the lab I worked in as an undergrad is pictured. Sweet!

For those who take offense, no worries, for I don't particularly agree with many of the blog's top 20 list of beautiful American campuses. Pepperdine? Good gawd, are we really so swept away by a campus simply because it has a ocean view? Its' buildings are hideous!

Oh come now. This place is only nice looking because of the old part of campus and only that little part with those trees that are old (I know there's a name for that part, but I'm a grad student. I don't know these things).

Otherwise, it is boring. Though, their rankings don't sense. Purdue is brick brick brick (see ncsu) and red brick at that.
