Originally posted by tim60 Your University is so old it must be falling down. I graduated from universities founded in: 1869, 1965, 1966, 1991 and 1991. They are young enough they are not falling down and do not cost ridiculous amounts in building maintenance - except to take asbestos out.
Nah, they have relocated since then, out of the city (which is now once again in the city). The ambulance chasers are still stuck in buildings from the 1850ies, but the rest are housed on a campus built up from the 1930ies onwards (and still being expanded).
Quote: When I visit the library of that old place I find most of their students seem to be reading Latin, Greek and classics, despite the famous portraits of people like Isaac Newton hanging on the wall.
The only people you will find studying Greek and Latin here will be a handful of linguist students. And what little the quacks need for their elitist lingo.
Actually, most of the Uni curriculum is in English these days, especially for the natural sciences. Studying History I read quite a bit in Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish as well, but everything going on outside of Scandinavia was in English. CS and Maths, all English. It's quite interesting how much this has changed from before WWII when German and French literature made up the bulk of the curriculum.
