Lancaster Diary
Hey everyone,
Thought
I’d send along some pictures of campus so you can all get a chance
to see what it looks like. I believe it is about the same size as
UMaine, in population size, and in land mass. Here, the dorms and
educational buildings are intermixed, so you can have class in the
bottom floor of a hall you live in. The only buildings I can think
of like that in Maine are Colvin, and Balentine. It takes me about
10 minutes to walk from my room to the Art Department where I have
my photography class, and that is the furthest I have to walk.
Residential College
There is an underpass right in the middle of campus where all the
busses run from, making it really convenient to get too and from
places. Also, the bookstore is quite different here from UMaine.
There is a chain store called Waterstones (kind of like a smaller
Barnes and Noble) where students buy their books from, but they
don’t sell any clothes or anything. There is another store not far
away that carries some “Lancaster University” gear such as
sweatshirts and T-Shits.

Square - Main square on campus
There are a few restaurants and shops on campus as well. There is
quite a nice Chinese food restaurant, and an even better Indian
restaurant. (Indian is really big over here). They also have a shop
called a SPAR, which is a really good market kind of thing, and a
central store on the other side of campus that sells a lot of the
same stuff.

Library at Sunset
Other than that it is similar to UMaine. I heard is snowed in
Massachusetts the other day…winter is coming huh? Speak to you
later!
