Honestly i walk around on campus, and the buildings look similar to public school buildings? Compared to Usyd, UNSW, UTS - Macq buildings are a laughing stock

What kind of response are you expecting? Honestly.

I think its cause UNSW and Usyd are just better Uni's, so they get more funding, so they have more to spend on buildings

but seriously, lol at this thread

 

[rcr4fags]

Uws has some decent buildings.

I don't like how you chose the use the word 'better'. Are you trying to say the education is worse at macquarie?

its because Mac was built in the 70's when these buildings were the epitomy of architecture

The Uni im at in Germany is exactly the same - ugly 1970 style buildings.....

Yes Brutalist architecture's really common in some places in London. I saw a doco on it recently, very interesting.

Well the electronics/computing department - it's nice and cosy during winter with their soft bouncy squishy leather seats at the front. But who cares...macq is easy to get around - once you get used to their architectural planning of the place lol

UTS tower is fine...nothing wrong with it

 

[ALLLICE]

But I enjoy the masses of concrete. Anyway, surely our lovely grounds make up for it all! The trees, the lake, the ducks in the lake, a statue of a prostitute, etc. Other universities don't have those things, I assure you.

 

[cottonmouth]

HOLY SHIT! we have a statue of a prostitute? omg.. i now know why i wanted to go to macquarie... it all seems clear now ...
