The Campus

This is not at all like your typical university...in oh so many ways. But one way that makes it radically different is the layout of the campus.

In essence...there is no campus.

Bluche is a tiny village with roughly 35 buildings. Some are private residences, some are restaurants, there is one hotel and one tiny closet sized store, the rest are owned by the school.

The main building has all the classrooms, the "main" school restaurants, a bar, library, computer facilities, offices, and even dorm rooms.

Then there are a bunch of other buildings spread out with various student accomidations. One is dorms with a gym on the bottom floor. Another has a bar and restaurant (neither owned by the school). Another has a "fast food" restaurant with a club of sorts...TV, pool, etc. Some are just dorms and nothing else.

Mine is 3 stories tall...the ground floor is a restaurant (which isn't open...don't know if it will), and a copy place (think Kinkos but microscopic). The 2nd floor has about 8ish rooms all along the same side sharing one giant common balcony. Then there are about 6 rooms above. It's one of the smaller buildings on campus...and is pretty old. In fact...want to see it?


My room has a sink! I actually LOVE it. I can blast back and forth from the shower and take my time washing, shaving, and all that good stuff. Plus it gives me another window to open to that amazing fresh air...woot!

Note the American flag covering up shelves of stuff. I figured I really ought to hang it up.

This is the door. It is an extremely boring picture. I have weak camera skillz at times. Doh!

This is the wall opposite the door...and leads out to the balcony. On the left is my bed, on the right is my desk, and next to my desk is a MASSIVE heater that seriously scares me. Winter will be a shock...eep.

This is just outside my balcony to the right. It was POURING rain that day with MONSTOROUS thunder echoing up and down the valley walls. I absolutely loved it.


My tiny...small...yet comfortable...bed. See that button on the wall below the light? For some odd reason the Swiss like to put their plugs at chest height...yet don't put any sort of shelf for which to place the plugged in items.

This concludes our first (and very cheap) campus tour. We have gifts available in the main lobby, and the restaurant is open until 9.

Thank you and please come again.
