What University Life Used to Look Like

6 January 2010 603 views 3 Comments

These great photos made their way to us this morning, and we thought our international readers would enjoy seeing them. Looking through them I don’t see a big difference – people are having fun, groups of students are enjoying their college time together. Granted, everyone is dressed nicely and for some reason appear to be well over the age of 18, but looking through them I see student life as it is today.

College life may look different today, with Uggs, sweatpants, and phones glued to everyone’s ears, but at the end its still about education, friendships, networks, and more than just classes.

Enjoy!

    Those are great photos; I esp like the wardrobes. Of course you could not help but notice the lack of diversity on campus.

    Jeff, you are so correct, that really does stand out.

    I love these! Thanks for posting. Too bad contemporary college life looks little like this–fashion these days can't compete.
