Just discovered the coolest thing.
At the Memorial Library (Raynor Memorial Library for those of you keeping score) I can text message or IM the library and they will answer questions or look things up for me. I am literally sitting on the Memorial Bridge (the sky bridge/lounge that connects the old and new libraries...also my favorite study spot) and talking with the circulation desk on my computer. They are checking on book availability while I sit on my butt and post this.
Marquette continues to surprise.

The Grizzly's Habitat: Marquette
- Al McGuire Center: The on-campus gymnasium that hosts Volleyball and Women's Basketball. Named for the legendary Marquette head coach who took the team to a 1979 National Championship
- AMU: The Alumni Memorial Union. This new and beautiful building houses pretty much anything you could need to live on campus. The mail center, Spirit Shop, Brew Bayou, Marquette Place, and heaps of ballrooms and conference rooms all live in the AMU

- Bradley Center: The arena in downtown Milwaukee that is home to the Milwaukee Bucks (NBA), Admirals (hockey), and the Marquette Golden Eagles Men's Basketball Team
- Cobeen Hall: The all girls dorm on campus. This is also where I eat on weekends because the dining hall in Straz is closed and has terrible hours on Friday
- Memorial Library: The old and, at one time, only library building on campus. Housed here are the book stacks, some reading rooms, and a bit of study space. Less popular as a study location becasue it is stuffier and quiter than Raynor and has VERY low ceilings
- O'Donnell Hall: The all guys dorm on campus. Also home to most of the men's crew team
- Raynor (Opus North) Bridge: Officially Opus North but universally called Raynor Bridge or just "The Bridge." This area connects Raynor and Memorial Libraries and has a coffee shop and tons of study/meeting space. A popular destination for socializing, relaxing, or doing light homework
- Raynor Library: The new library building on campus. It houses reference materials, spcieal collections, and a ton of great study space. It also holds some of the origional Lord of the Rings manuscripts
- Rec Plex: The alternative rec center in Straz Tower. It used to be a YMCA but the University converted it so that it now has cardio and weight rooms, basketball courts, racquetball, and a swimming pool
- St. Joan of Arch: A chapel from France where Joan of Arc prayed that was brought to campus, brick for brick in 1965. It holds the distinction as the "Only Medieval structure in the Western Hemisphere dedicated to its origional purpose"
- Straz Tower: The 18 story monstrosity of a dorm that houses sophomores and the Honors Program Freshman. Also resident are the Rec Plex, Bob's Barber Shop, and a small theater
- The Annex: Officially the "Union Sports Annex," a University-owned sports bar and rec center. Includes a restaurant with lots of TVs, a sport court, and bowling alley. A great destination for NFL games, Marquette away games, and Trivia and Bingo nights

- The Quad or The Mall: The only real green space on campus. It stretchs from 12th to 17th street between Wisconsin and Wells streets and serves as the setting for most academic buildings
