<p>That’s weird. We found the Trinity campus to be very well-manicured and lovely to look at… no dead grass as mentioned above. Perhaps it was the time of year you went??? Or the drought this year that had serious water restrictions in place in San Antonio and in Austin. I’ve visited easily over 40 college campuses in the last 8 years, and I found Trinity to be a really lovely campus. (Texas A & M - horrible! :eek:)</p>
<p>I tried to use google earth, but could only see one or two streets.</p>
<p>Agreed about the drought. This year there was a record drought in this part of Texas. We were watching the water levels in the rivers steadily dropping and were wondering if some were going to dry up altogether. San Antonio had major watering restrictions which is probably the reason for landscaping issues mentioned above. When we did the Trinity campus tour in the summer of 2008 the tour guide joked about the school having the lowest gardener to student ratio. This was fitting because while there were not very many students on campus that time of year, people were out all over the campus tending to the grounds. I have driven by one of the school entrances many times over the years and it is always manicured and usually in bloom.</p>
<p>Interesting about the gardens - we went in March 2008 - perhaps it is a bad time of year and the grass, instead of being dead was dormant. I’m looking at pictures from that trip and I can see large sections of yellow brown grass in the background. Lots of extremely attractive buildings for what that is worth… :)</p>
