ellarienThe view from the common room two floors up, where the half-decent-coffee machine is, is quite amazing, stretching from the Manpower Services building (now the Department for Work and Pensions, but names stick) on the west of the city centre to the cooling-towers of Tinsley, where the regional mall is, on the east, taking in the town hall and the cathedral on the way.
There's a used bookstore in the student union! A small one, admittedly, run by Oxfam, but with the authentic used-bookstore smell. I didn't actually buy anything -- at this point I'm more likely to add to their stock -- but I'm comforted to know it's there. The real university bookstore is somewhere down the road towards town, and so far this trip I haven't even managed to spot it from the tram as I go by.
