    Free Wi-Fi for the public using a guest network & there's no wifi password. Slow but usable. Many spots on campus have power outlets outside, so this is a great spot to work from if you're travelling.

    Dating back to 1891, this campus is filled with amazing history - take the architectural walking tour offered the 4th Thursday of each month to learn more about the buildings.

    I love the dozens of turtles in the terraced pond with ancient rocks just east of Millikan Library. But don't rich the turtles- supposedly they have salmonella all over them.

    Take the architecture tour! The entire school dates back to 1891. You'll learn a multitude of anomalies in the famed school's infrastructure.

    The M.E. Dept. has the BEST student competitions. Always different every year and pretty much open to anyone to watch. Always held at the end of Winter Term. (Must hunt down the exact details.)

    Check out the turtles in Throop Memorial Garden, and the lily pads in the pools flanking the grassy Beckman Mall.

    Nice place to walk. You can bring your dog so it's a good evening stroll.

    Take your lunch by the Turtle Pond and relax thinking how many Nobel Laureates sat right there looking at the same things you are.
