(However, I'm thinking of getting a white lab coat. It is currently really annoying getting chalkdust all over my bike, my black bag, and/or my dark blue jacket, after class....with a white lab coat I can just dust off my hands and nothing will show...then off the to the next meeting!) -cvj citriine…yes, that would be great.

Then you can go in looking like a "normal person", not in a white lab coat (which, as a theorist you don't wear anyways, right?) and tell the kids that not all scientists are scary Frankensteins.

Really smaller schools with better communication between staff and students work out a lot better. All said though this one might be designed on such a premise, I know newer schools are being built off the 150 principle with each set of students assigned to a certian prt of the school with amenities like lounges and libraries and computers etc. Who designed this thing anyway?
