Visiting Eastern Connecticut State University

On the way to Home Depot yesterday, I decided to take a detour and quickly drive through Eastern Connecticut State University. I am checking out the local colleges for interesting classes. I already found a nice “Entrepreneurial” class over at UConn. It teaches you how to set up, operate, successfully harvest and start over a small business. That’s my gig. East Conn has some good photography and writing classes that I am interested in.

Now, I know these are the worst pictures on the planet, but please understand that it is really difficult to get these photos without feeling like I am doing something wrong. This country has got me so damn paranoid, that I can’t even feel comfortable taking pictures of a college from my car. I keep thinking that the “Thought Police” are going to jump out of the bushes and arrest me.

Anyway, this is what I got. I must say, this is a really nice little college. It is very clean and inviting. I have no idea what the quality of the academics is, but as far as looks go, it passes.

Visiting Eastern Connecticut State University

The other day, while driving home from Home Depot in Willimantic, CT, I noticed a sign that said, “Eastern Connecticut State University.” I thought that was pretty strange, because I had no clue that Eastern Connecticut was so close by. I knew that UConn was pretty close, but that was it.

Since I was intrigued, I decided that it would be nice to drive through the campus on a nice sunny day like today. We are always looking for a good college campus to go to shows, etc…

We drove over to Willimantic this afternoon and pulled into campus. I was very pleasantly surprised. The school is very well taken care of and quite attractive. Laura really doesn’t care if a school looks good or not, but I do. She is all about function and I am (a good part) about looks. I try to explain to her that I want to be happy when walking through a campus and not look only at bare concrete and parking lots. I am not sure I am ever going to get my point across. Either way, this campus looked great.

We drove around and left campus after a little while. I was going to take some pictures, but it was just too busy. We drove around town a little bit and then drove to the new hometown to stop at the local food store to get some cold food for dinner. Again, the gas people are coming on Monday. We need that to cook.
