And for those who wonder what they're missing in sunny Hougton, MI:

http://www.admin.mtu.edu/urel/cams/view/still.html

Still, having enjoyed the indoor range a time or two, it was a great place to get an education.

And I don't know if they're still around, but the Campus Crusade for Christ group was a great group to hang around & have bible studies with.

There was a baptist church on the North side of College Ave. that had a good pastor, as well as an AofG church in Hancock.

But that was ... a few years ago.

Too bad there weren't many female engineering students. :P

(And I should have paid more attention to the one who kinda liked me - [sigh] I miss Marcia...)

Oh, and P.S. There were definitely a share of libs in the "liberal arts" zone. Imagine that!

Ah, Tech.....

It's too bad they show the Admin building in the foreground of the webcam shot. It is by far the ugliest building on campus, inside and out: it was designed to hamper campus riots, so the windows are kept as small slots for firing out, and the interior is a 3-dimentional maze.

It really makes you wish they would have kept the old Hubble Hall (demolished in '68"):

Still though, Houghton - you can see the "downtown" off in the distance - is a very pretty town, right along the Portage. I miss it, and will have to return soon.

Ahhh.... MTU. You guys are making me homesick, though I'm not a native yooper!

Great to meet some MTU alumni FReepers! MTU was a great school. I was out in '03. I had planned to stay there for my MSc, but funding was cut before I started. Now I'm going to school in AB, Canada. No need to discuss CND politics, for obvious reasons!! :-)

My sister just married one of my best friends from Tech. They both live in my old place near the Portage, downtown. I get a bit jealous to say the least.

More female eng. students would have been nice, but the materials eng wasn't terrible. Lots of girls at the U of A, however I can't manage to find any decent ones!!

I have some of my pics from Houghton on my profile if you guys are interested. What yr did you all graduate?
