Sage Hall, Ithaca, NY EGADE, Monterrey, Mexico
Sage Hall (the business school) is an interesting place to be at 1AM in the morning. In my nearly two years as a student this has happened to me only a few times for groupwork and a few more times to watch NBA playoffs on the big screen TV's on the lower level. I make it a point to get home to my family in the evenings and get my work done during the day. Regardless of the time of day, you'll always find people in the building working on something.
I much more prefer working during the day in either the large glass atrium or in the library next to big windows that overlook East Avenue. However, when you work in the attrium don't plan on getting much done because there are too many people coming up and talking to you about assignments, projects, job search, or soliciting help for a survey for a marketing research class.
Although they were completed about the same time (Sage Hall was remodeled and EGADE was built in the late 90s) they definitley have different personalities. Nearly all of the teaching occurs during the day at Sage and there is an event 3-4 nights a week. At EGADE, nearly all classes occur at night. All the hubbub happens between 6 pm and 10 pm and any social activities are held at the main University Campus about 10 minutes down the road. I must say that I enjoy the fact that Sage Hall is right in the heart of campus.
