<p>Ok, a little fun..... so which colleges campuses or types of campuses resemble the fictional towns of Tolkien's creation? Towns that come to mind are the Shire/Hobbiton, Bree, Rivendell, the Lonelands (Weathertop), etc......for example, people drink in Bree and it's kind of....well, I don't know, the Shire is friendly/cute and pretty, and Rivendell is majestic. Any takers?</p>

<p>***. That is all.</p>

<p>You. freaking. nerd.</p>

<p>[Hobbit</a> House of Montana - like no other](<a href=“http://www.hobbithouseofmontana.com/]Hobbit”>http://www.hobbithouseofmontana.com/)</p>

<p>Just go there for a couple of days.</p>

5

<p>And now I’m picturing professors shouting “You shall not pass” to failing students…</p>

6

<p>^^ I could swear a professor did say that at some point in my career.</p>

7

<p>^If I ever see that happen, I don’t care if everyone looks at me like I’m nuts, I’m laughing my ass off…</p>

8

<p>UC Berkeley’s Bowles Hall is straight out of Hogwarts, does that count?</p>

9

<p>If there is a school that resembles rivendell, I’m transferring. My school is an ugly concrete jungle.</p>

10

<p>Ithaca looks somewhat like Rivendell.</p>

11

<p>i think it is called Southern Vermont College, look it up its pretty neat looking.</p>

<p>[You</a> know what I think of this thread?](<a href=“http://marcamos.com/ha/this-is-gonna-be-good.gif]You”>http://marcamos.com/ha/this-is-gonna-be-good.gif)</p>

13

<p>Yeah Ithaca might look like Rivendell if you’ve taken about 10000 hits of LSD.</p>

14

<p>How about UC Irvine? I’m living in the “Middle Earth” dorms. In the Shire. Each hall’s named after something in Middle Earth</p>

15

<p>UCI’s buildings look NOTHING like their namesake. (The Shire.)</p>

<p>But really, I’d love to live in [The</a> Shire:](<a href=“http://www.generationd20.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/first-glimse-at-the-shire-17608-1277066079-18.jpg]The”>http://www.generationd20.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/first-glimse-at-the-shire-17608-1277066079-18.jpg)</p>

<p>I don’t think people are taking this thread in the direction it was supposed to take…</p>

<p>Anyway, Harvard is obviously Tirion, Stanford is Tol Eress</p>

17

<p>Ima do some more researching on this topic. . .</p>

18

<p>This topic is full of win.</p>

<p>How about A Game of Thrones?</p>

19

<p>Thank you, Ghost. Appreciate it.</p>

<p>Oh man, I would love to live at ANY of these places mentioned…</p>

<p>ironically I lived in Middle Earth as a UCI student and this thread is making me depressed LOL</p>
