Give it a go, let's see what your uni looked like.
Yeah, fine.
Really just wanted to stop people just posting random photos of university buildings!Second one is Royal Holloway is it not?
It was a nice building, but I think the Georgian Architecture would have got too much after a while.
I'll post a few up:
Being a 60's Uni, a lot is concrete, but pretty sure that Norman Foster designed quite a bit of it way back when.
Ziggurats: Listed building, recently was on the cover of one of The Streets Albums.

That's a funky building.
I used to walk past the building every time (it's now mainly halls and a bar) and it never got boring, it was just so huge and summer days in the quads were excellent.
Royal Holloway. Pretty building, but worst university location of all time?
Nah, was annoying that being so close to London it took so long to get their by train (45 minutes WTF!) but it was right next to Windsor Park. All the female international students were
I only graduated wish years ago!
They were just finishing off the new social building and the recladding of the other building (name escapes me) when I left. It still doesn't have a patch (looks and space wise) to a lot of other campuses... Makes up for it being right next to the Hoe/Sound and Dartmoor however!

I didn't take this, as I couldn't be bothered to go to that part when I am mostly in the health sciences bit, but our buildings suck

Does it have a name? I was at UEA and I don't remember it ever having a name. Then again, I'm really unobservant.
The great thing is, it is the Arts building (full of Architects) and the building itself is all form over function and a massive pain to navigate and use... Hopefully the Architects take that experience with them to their careers.
My postgrad on the other hand was an old uni located in a more suburban campus, centred round a large Red Brick building modelled after a Chateau in France.
SNAP! Founders is a cool building but very uncomfortable lecture theatres!

Polar bear / Soar Point!
+1! I used to go to DMU..most of my lectures were in that building.. and most of my time between lectures was spent in those Scream bars
Queens building looks like a rejected design of a prison level for Quake 2. Felt like it as well!

Thread needs more old school:
Wills Memorial Tower - Bristol
I did my masters degree in there. Not really old school though, it was built between 1915 and 1925.
Yep, did my masters in there too! You are lawyer or a earth scientist?
Not old school in the grand scheme of things, but it certainly is style wise considering what else had been posted

Come on, I agree our university looks rubbish (even URS is nicknamed the lego buildingfound some more pictures of reading just to give you an idea of how rubbish it really looks.
all of these buildings i have had a good number of lectures in. basically we get bumped around the big lecture halls that no one else wants to use
palmer building (right) and carrington building (left)
) but Palmer's on the left, not the right 
I was lured to study at the University of Plymouth based on the exciting new Arts campus which was to open at the beginning of my second year (first year was in Exeter). This rather impressive building was meant to be my educational home for two years, with impressive and state of the art equipment for me to use. It opened two years after I graduated...

Ah, good to know they're still going.
Polar Bear was epic.
I should really post a picture of the Gateway building if it is still there. That was horrid and the lifts were wooden.
Not as bad as the building that was there before. That had those lifts that didn't stop so you just had to get on and off them before missing your floor - I think I saw the same thing at Essex - that was weird.
Was horrible to have a lesson on the 10th floor with no lifts too.

Certainly more impressive than the undergrad buildings.
So can anyone beat that?
Try and keep it to one building per university and at max a couple of pictures!
Done my BSc and MSc there
