campus

Looking at risd from across the river:

After walking around risd's campus for a couple weeks now, I was surprised to find out that risd has a population of approximately 1200 - 1500 undergrad students, plus 500 grad students. I think the undergrad population is very close to Emily Carr's size. But RISD has at least 20 buildings to ECI's 2 (+ 1 senior painting studio). RISD has 2 cafeterias, at least 3 coffee shops (that I know of), an art supplies store, apartments and dorms, work out facilities, a fleet of trucks, vans, and van/shuttles, and probably a bunch of other facilities I don't yet know of.

I was telling someone in my class today about the size of Emily Carr and she said, "Where do they fit everyone?" But I think ECI gets a lot of use out of its two buildings, it must cost a lot of money just for the overhead of RISD!
