- One reason why I transferred from Valpo to SUNY - Buffalo State College (not to
- be confused with UB, netters!) in 1987. Good prank, though ... the most I ever

- ObValpoUL1: The University Chapel is sinking at the rate of 2" (5 cm) a year.
- The depression it's in is a result of its slow lowering into the ground.

- ObValpoUL2: The VU campus looks like an ofice park because it was built on an
- old municipal golf course.
-
- ObValpoUL3: The campus is laid out with no central gathering place for
- students (i.e. traditional quad) to minimize the probability of riots resulting
- from student demonstrations. See ObUniversityAtBuffaloUL14.
-
- ObValpoUL4: Lankenau Hall is named after a WWII concentration camp.
