Here, There, Everywhere

First of all, I can not stress enough that everyone should get a cute professor with an accent if at all possible, whenever possible.

Secondly, I think I was in half the buildings on campus today. Within about 45 minutes. I had to go to the Interdisciplinary Studies office, the History office, Jessup to pay my U-bill, the Registrar's office, the IMU (student union, bookstore is inside), the library, and Phillips Hall. Later on I even went into the dental building. But that was just for fun. :-)

The thing that sucks about campus is that it's built on a giant hill. And you eventually have to walk up the hill. Bleh, aerobic activity. Actually, it's built on either side of a river, but I don't have to cross the river on foot. The west side has the hospital and medical school, the law school, dental building, sports facilities, and all that sort of thing. Oh, and the arts center. The east side has all of my stuff, and all of the general buildings like the main library and IMU. I keep meaning to take pictures for you. But I'll probably wait until it gets nicer, weather-wise.

And thirdly, I love chalupas. Just throwing that out there.

Never thought I'd have cause to correct The Grammar Queen, but you've made a common grammatical error here:
Actually, it's built on either side of a river...

If it occupies both sides of the river, one should say:
Actually, it's built on each side of (the) river...

"Either" implies a choice is being made: Which side of the river is it on? "Each" specifies it is on both sides of the river, which (I'm pretty sure) is what you're trying to say.
