Class on the Quad?

A typical scene at Guilford College. 

Ah...some of the sweetest words heard to any student matriculating through Guilford College. Class on the Quad is a very old tradition at the school, welcomed and promoted by student and professor alike. If it's a nice fall or spring day, chances are your professor - whom you call by his or her first name - will conduct class under the tree canopy of the Quad. 

You'll love it. And it's not distracting at all. In fact, getting out of a boxy classroom allows expansion of your thoughts and promotes class discussion.

A little blurry but you get the idea.
