Took a cab with my dad to Brown this morning and spent half a day there, running around trying not to look lost, snapping pictures (I'm degenerating into a point-and-shooter - so much for proper photography), settling some preliminary stuff like getting my keys and student ID, registering at the office for foreign student affairs, clarifying where to pick up my linens tomorrow. Ate Chinese food (!) at a restaurant located near the campus, although it's hard to say where the campus ends and the rest of Providence begins, because it's an open concept and the buildings sort of spill all over the place, merging into residential estates and such. When the taxi took us to Keeney Quadrangle (a collection of residential halls including my own) I could hardly believe that we'd arrived - there wasn't any sign proclaiming that we were already on university grounds, and by all appearances it seemed as though we were in a picturesque residential area.
I'm too used to NUS and NTU - if there aren't any ugly concrete blocks, I don't see an institute of higher learning.
And - oh yeah - needless to say (doesn't stop me from saying it though):
NEW PHOTOS!
