Saitama University

I went around the campus these two days just to familiarise myself with the environment here. It is not a very big campus, probably just around 60 acres of land area. The main entrance is just by the main street of Saitama City and travelling around using public transport is fairly easy.

The main campus road is the spine and all the faculty buildings are situated at the sides of this road.

The buildings here were designed more for function than form. So, they are all squarish. This is the library building just about three blocks away from the main entrance.

These are the buildings of the Environmental Science Department, but most of the faculty buildings look like these.

The cherry blossom trees are in full bloom right now. There are many of them along the roads in the campus.

It's time that I got back to work, so I walked back to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

So, I'm now working from the tiny little desk of my work station, and this will be my work space for the next six months.
