Node your university! Or
college, as the case may be.
There are a lot of
nodes out there that have university names in their
titles.
Now, now..don't be shy; don't stop there. And don't just say "The
University
of Connecticut is in
Storrs,
Connecticut. People drink
beer and watch basketball."
I mean...you go there, so there's probably a wealth of information in your head
about your
educational institution of choice, and you can get some more juicy
details by bugging the
reference librarians, as well as the
curator of the
university
archives.
List
residence halls, and maybe
node them, giving their history, who they're
named after (those people are usually
important, at least in that
state),
cool facts, hauntings,
steam tunnel access, and anything else your little heart
desires. Give a run down of the administrative and classroom buildings on
campus,
and a brief description of what they're all about. Now, you don't have to go crazy
and node the whole
general catalog, but be descriptive.
Now, all of this is just factual. As the scope of
e2 is infinite, you could
even encompass
subjective things about your university. Maybe a section on classes/teachers.
Who's good, and who's
not. What classes are interesting, which are demanding,
which should be avoided
at all costs? No
slander; just helpful tips. This
section is often best saved for last.
Node the factual, and after some thought
and
reflection, and maybe talk with other university
noders, you can add some
"review" sections.
Try to keep things
concise and to the point. You need to find a balance as far
as what's in the main
node. So far, I've kept everything but
residence halls
to a brief one or two line description. As I noded the history behind the
residence
halls, each of those had a separate
node, but try to keep the rest of the
pertinent
information one page. Just as you'd like to type in a country name, and see important
information in front of you (a la
CIA World Factbook), the same should go for
universities. You don't have to necessarily list every
major, or
everything
about your university. Start somewhere, and I'm sure some of you know other
everythingians
at your university. Get together.
Friends that node together stay together.
We can all go to xuniversity.
edu, or open their
general catalog. As a student,
you can share the
nitty-gritty info that you're privy to, or that's dispersed
throughout too many official publications.
