| - The Cathedral of Learning, what can I say that hasn't been said about this place. Yes, it's beautiful; no one can deny that, especially since they finally gave it a bath after nearly 60 years after its construction completed. Is it tall? Of course. It is the second tallest university building in the world (damn you Russia). We all know it is a diversified building with all the Nationality rooms (29 at present count). Plus, people kind of refer to it as Hogwarts at times.
What you may not know, don't go all the way up to the highest floor you can. It's quite awesome to go up and take in the view of Oakland and in the distance Downtown. But don't try a door that quite possibly may be connected to the fire alarm system...IT WILL NOT OPEN! Also, it may set off the fire alarm and then you are demanded by overhead speaker to evacuate the building...by stairs. Do you know what it feels like to walk down 39 flights of awkward stairs? It's not fun, not fun at all. What the kicker is, as my family and I reached the bottom of the stairs, the fire alarm was finally cleared. I kid you not, my foot just hit the floor after the last step, and it was cleared.
Never again Cathedral, NEVER! But I still love you, you are beautiful and don't listen to what some of the foreign exchange student refer to you as.
