I’ve spent the past few days on the beautiful campus of Rice University in Houston, Texas. I am a little sad to report that I have seen nothing of Houston itself, spending my time either on the campus or at the hotel; however, it’s been a productive workshop and I’ve learned a lot about teaching Language and Literature according to IB standards. Oh my goodness, they are rigorous … and it looks like a LOT of work for both me and my students…but I digress. During breaks, wandered a bit, especially around Lovett Hall, the oldest building on campus at 100 years. (Taken with Canon G12)
Now, isn’t this just the very image of academia?
The arched walkways invite one to linger and learn, right?
Of the hundreds of times I’ve visited Rice University, it never gets tiring. However, I still have to say that I prefer Texas A&M University since it’s my alma mater.
It’s my first visit to Rice but have never been to Texas A&M., although I lived in Dallas several years.
Gorgeous photos!
What a beautiful campus. Thanks for the lovely photographs.
These shots do not do it justice. I was fortunate to be there for a few days.
