I wonder if the Garfield University was named for the former President Garfield? Does anybody remember him? I can't even remember the years he served in the White House.

They suggest a slower lifestyle with time and temperatures conducive to sitting around outdoors. If I ever returned to the US, I would seek out one of those. I remember my alma mater back in the 80s had loads of cute houses in the streets nearby. Mostly rented to students I think. 'Student' here in Britain has a different connotation: drunken louts prepared to live in the worst conditions, who destroy property and leave behind unbelievable filth. I'm pretty sure people wouldn't get away with it in the States, particularly as higher education is increasingly expensive and exclusive. The Friends University looks very much like the original part of Central State University in Edmond, now called University of Central Oklahoma for some reason. http://oacteok.org/institutions/uco.htmlShelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-36925416751130217862013-04-24T13:01:56.433-07:002013-04-24T13:01:56.433-07:00Wow - and all those houses are so different too!
