Õnnehetked: Louisiana State University

Louisiana State University on Louisiana osariigi suurim ylikool. 6pilasi on neil kokku umbes 30 000 ja 6ppida saab pea k6ike, muusikast keemiani ja ajakirjandusest arhitektuurini. Just t2nu sellele on (minu arvates) USAs v2lja kujunenud suured ylikoolilinnakud, et k6ik hooned koos kohvikute ja staadiumitega yhte kohta kokku pandud. Lisaks veel palju rohelust, yli6pilaselamud ja v2lja kukub yks igati kift kohake. P6hja v2ravast l6unasse on umbes 1,6 kilomeetrir (yks miil), ning sarnaselt ka idast l22nde.

Louisiana State University is the biggest university in the state, with an enrolment of about 30,000 students. It is possible to study whatever you wish, from music to chemistry and from journalism to architecture. I guess trying to fit all the buildings together with several stadiums and dorms is the main reason for a huge campus, like everywhere across USA. Just add lots of green and few nice cafes and you have a lovely studying and living environment. If I remember correctly, it is about 1,6 km from the North gate to the South gate and similar distance from east to west.

IGATI KIFT YLEVAADE LINNAKUST / AWESOME OVERVIEW OF THE CAMPUS

Eelmisel pyhap2eval jalutasime linnakus veidi ringi, tegimegi vist peaaegu t2is ringi peale. Kylastasime kohti, kuhu me veel ise polnud vajaduse puudumise t6ttu sattunud. K6ik hooned on ehitatud yhes stiilis, mis teeb linnaku h2sti kiftiks. Ja kevad on muidugi meeletult ilus, igasugu puud-p66sad 6itsevad ja k6ik on oh kui roheline. Vahel tuleb t6esti tunne, et olen m6nest Ameerika ylikooli filmist v2lja astunud, just nii k6ik t2pselt v2lja n2ebki.

Last Sunday Gerben and I took time to walk around the campus and shoot some impressions of the campus. We visited quite some places we didn't get to go yet, simply because we didn't have to. All the buildings are built in the same style, which makes it a whole. And we couldn't choose a better time for our stay as spring brings lots of flowers and green on the campus. Sometimes I really feel like I just stepped out from an American college movie!
