I'll tell you something we don't know:

how to let old threads die.

 

[hailstate19]

I just didn't know that there are rules agenst bumping old threads. Seems like on other message boards bumping old threads happen all the time.

One of the discussions in that thread concerned the size of the campus and how much acreage was under control of the university. One poster stated that Michigan State had the most acreage. I had always heard that our MSU had one of the largest campus in the USA. Well, State has 4400 acres within the main campus and has under ownership 20,000 acres off campus. The main campus ranks 14th in size. Michigan State has 5200 acres and 25,000 additional acres and is ranked 11th. The largest main college campus in the US is Berry College in Georgia with 27,000 acres. That's a hell of a walk across campus! Believe it or not, the Texas university system has 2.1 million acres under ownership.

Not only does Berry College have a bunch of land, they have an Eagle Cam.

I've also heard from different people affiliated with the University that perry was designed to look like a church to prevent getting bombed.

There are ghosts in Allen Hall that log on to the computers in 414 and bump old threads on SPS.

Berry's got a ton of deer too. Took this sometime in 2015 on my first trip through campus.

I was told that at Orientation as well, years ago. That doesn't necessarily make it true, of course.

Dorman Hall was actually built to be entered into the ugliest college building contest.
