This is probably off-topic, but in my experience a generation ago at Harvard, what they did right was have massive space.
Dozens of large buildings with libraries, nooks, sitting areas, auditoria with unlocked pipe organs (at Radcliffe), etc.
So one could always find a private area to study, read, think, play, and dream.
Silly, I know, but I think it's the ultimate educational luxury...
- hatmatrix 11y agoWell if that is the secret to success, Texas Tech should be at the top of the rankings. They have an incredible amount of space.
- therobot24 11y agoThat is actually a major benefit. I went to a smaller commuter school for undergrad where most people would almost never hang around on campus (rather just drive home) yet there was almost no 'good' place to sit down and study between classes. There were plenty of quiet areas, but most were either not very comfortable, or didn't have enough outlets. By my senior year I had found a small nook in one of the buildings that had a table, whiteboard, and outlet. I eventually stopped going home immediately after classes because i got more work done there than anywhere else.
