State has a better looking campus than most SEC schools.
Alabama's campus is horrible in my opinion. I had to do some work on a building on their campus a few years ago and I wasn't impressed at all with their campus.
We?ve always had a good campus, I did think upkeep had slipped the last few years, but some long term planning and design have really come together nicely. Secondly, the amount of trees we have planted all over the campus is great. I was commenting to someone today, that almost everywhere you look, there are trees that are under 10-15 years old, many less than that.
Say what?? Bama has one of the prettier campuses in the SEC.
Put me in the unimpressed crowd. Aside from a couple of nice buildings, I thought it was one of the least visually appeasing P5 campuses I?ve seen. Tuscaloosa, in general, isn?t impressive either.Quote:

For the future, Are there plans to modernize the engineering buildings? I see Hardy Blvd is pedestrian only this year. Are they going to make that into a plaza like Old Main plaza?
Once they upgrade the buildings northeast of the stadium and Dorman.... the place will look incredible. Also I imagine when the new dorms go in on Barr, that campus will look spectacular.
Meh, it ain't nothing special.Quote:

MSU does have one of the nicest campuses. I've been to UT and LSU when they looked horrible. I was on campus this summer and there were lots of landscape projects going on everywhere.Quote:

I know I have maroon-colored glasses but from what I've seen around MSU is a great value and one of best schools in the Southeast combining all elements - student life, facilities, academics, sports, etc.
Concur, but we still have a few buildings that look like puke. The architecture and construction sciences building look like they were designed and built by a k4 class.
We should have let Dr. Foglesong paint everything brown and army green while we had the chance, (except his bi-plane of course)! *****Quote:

My granddaughter is starting her sophomore year and one of her roommates is from New Mexico and her roommate from there is amazed how pretty and the trees. I?ll be on campus this Saturday helping granddaughter move in. HailState and go Dogs
