Day Ten – Moreland Hall

Moreland Hall (I stole this photo from The Internets)

Moreland Hall was where the English department did their business at Oregon State University.  I spent a lot of time in Moreland Hall.  It isn’t the nicest building on campus.  Most of the classrooms had weird angles of beams in the middle of the room, making it difficult to see the board at times.  But I loved it.  I loved how old and cozy it was.  I loved the old bathrooms and the big stairway in the lobby.  I loved how it was so close to the MU and the dorms.

I really enjoyed being an English major at a university with a small English department.  I had a lot of the same people in most of my upper division English classes, and we had a good time together.  I really liked how my professors knew me and were easily accessible.  I liked reading good books and having amazing discussions with intelligent people.  Fun stuff.
