A lot of my friends have been helping their high school kids find the best college for them and it involves college trips to various cities and towns around the country. This is something most Aussies don't have to go through as most of us simply attend university in the city we grew up in (at least we did in my day). I thought it might be fun over the holiday season to have some Faculty Lounge college town trivia and see if folks can identify college towns from their pictures. So today's college town picture is below. Can you name the town?
Wow! Now that's a view. Eugene, OR?
Canberra
Google image search really takes the fun out of this.
Nope and nope. Not Eugene, nor Canberra.
I'm sticking with U.S. college towns for now.
Boulder, Colorado?
Based on the architecture & agriculture, I'm thinking somewhere in California. I want to guess Santa Barbara, but I don't think that's correct.
I didn't think Google image search got it right because the place just looks so lush. Definitely a photo taken during better times.
Cal Poly — San Luis Obispo.
Yes, Suzanna! You got it.
Future rules may have to be NO use of Google search allowed – on the honor system …
All one needs to do is hover the mouse over the picture, and the name appears.
