Haven’t logged in here for a little while and I’m afraid to check the notifications. But I did go back to my Alma mater for a very quick visit on my holiday, and the place really charms me even I haven’t been back in 10 years 🥰🥰🥰

Apart from lower Manhattan, this is the most stunning view (in my humble opinion) you can get when your flight takes off or descends. Just stunning.
