This is more of a shout-out post, but everyone is welcome to read!
Eric,
I am writing this to you because you studied civil engineering, and I think you would really be fascinated by NTU. It has a renowned civil engineering program, and it’s especially cool because the program is small, and the students get to work on real projects on campus.
The roads here are very interesting. The entire campus is located on an enormous hill. Looking at a map, I cannot see any logic to how the roads fit into each other, but somehow they do. Every road is curved, I don’t think there’s a single road here on campus that is a straightaway for more than 100m. Also, the roads are all connected through roundabouts. They obviously exist, but I have seen more roundabouts on just this campus than I have seen in the US in total. I don’t think taking pictures of some of the streets would be that valuable, so here’s a campus map:
I know it’s not your specific area, but I would assume irrigation systems would fall under civil engineering too, right? Walking around campus, I feel as if I’m in one big Chamber of Secrets. There are drains everywhere you look, and all of the sides of the hills are cut into with concrete filtering the water to the bottom of campus. Unfortunately, as I’ve mentioned before, the bottom of campus is where Hall 7 is located. I guess this is vital, as it rains rather frequently here.
Anyways, I just thought you’d be interested! Feel free to google image search the campus a little more. I think you would enjoy it here!
