Yeah, film program, but I finished up just before everything got shipped to IP, so most of my classes were still in Carnegie. That would be crazy annoying; I didn't even realize they moved it back again. I remember my senior year they were talking about the change to IP and I was like "way to kill a top film program by completely divorcing it from campus." I sure never heard of any of my engineering/english/kinesiology friends needing to use the lab at 2am because that's the only time the Avid bays were available to book, but film kids? Sure, find a way to get 2 miles outside of campus after the busses stop running and you have no car. At least my class could hand carry all the gear rentals from Carnegie back to our apartments if we couldn't rustle up someone with a car.

Same here, and I totally agree. There has been non-stop construction on that campus forever! I even made a short student film about it for one of my film classes called “Construction State” OVER 20 YEARS AGO! And yet, look no further than East Halls for a shining example of the squalor students are still living in while paying more than double what I did each semester. The largest reason by far that I keep chucking their fundraising letters in the garbage is because of the irresponsible spending I’ve seen over the past two decades.
