Extreme University Makeover Needed

UIC is a very depressing campus. The only positive places i enjoy at this school are: the new recreation facility and my spanish classroom, Lincoln hall rm. 218?, it is colorful and delightful.
If ABC had some spare time, UIC could use an Extreme Makeover: University edition.

I am a transfer student therefore I do not feel loyalty to this University at all. The buildings are ugly, BROWN and depressing. Do you want to know how I really feel? haha Anyways, I feel the architecture is negatively overwhelming. When the weather is sunny and warm the campus is tolerable- however during the fall and winter months this campus is a very unpleasent place to walk around. It is a very cold atmosphere.

The new building that is across from Lincoln Halls looks great. I wish every building on this campus looked that way. The glass and warm colors really make a difference in that specific location. As far as the older buildings, I would take out the old riot proof windows and add new windows that can be opened during class. I sweat so bad in some of my classes the temperature interferes w my attention level.

I would add new bathrooms. I do not care if they need to pay someone to sit in the restrooms and monitor grafitti artists. The bathrooms at this school are DISCUSTING!! I try to never use them EVER for two reasons. First I do not want to catch a disease with all of the germs swimming around. Second, the harsh words on the stalls are not the best reading material while one is doing their buisness.

For all the negatives, I will say the recreation facility is wonderful. I love going to the gym as much as possible. It is a very positive atmosphere because everything is new and state of the art.
