What disconnected areas?  And ALL older universities have had the same problem that you raise: how to efficiently build newer, better, more comfortable and environmentally-friendly buildings on a budget (especially true for state schools).  My own SLAC has AWFUL dorms built in the 70s.  Huge, ugly cinderblock monstrosities next to gorgeous gothic buildings.  The Lamont library at Harvard comes to mind - ugly but functional and totally alien in style to the Widener library next door or other adjacent buildings dating back 100s of years.  Universities do what they can afford and move on.[/quote]

NP, but clearly if you are going from Hereford College to play intramurals at The Park in the North Grounds, it isn't a hop, skip, and a jump.  You'd walk down a hill, along a busy road, through a residential areas, through a commercial area, through athletic facilities, past a separate campus for business, law, and the JAG school, and past parking lots.  It would take about 40 minutes.[/quote]

You’re showing your age here. We’d take a Lime and be there in five minutes.

Crossing Ivy Road isn’t going through a commercial area. Lol

And at least we can go out to eat at a locally-owned restaurant in our little shopping area. Last time I was at UR, you had to get in the car to do anything. [/quote]
