Trinity College Dublin

This is front square at Trinity College. The buildings are so beautiful, basically the polar opposite of Santa Clara's adobe style. According to the undergrads here, it is really really bad luck if you walk under the Bell Tower (the center structure in the photo) more then once, or if you get caught under there when the bell rings... basically you are doomed to fail your exams. I have class in the museum building, which is unreal, and many of my classrooms look like 18 century living rooms with high ceilings, chandeliers, and huge windows. It is a very different academic system compared to the one on one attention at Santa Clara, but it give students the opportunity to really learn on there own.... or not learn at all...
