Sightseeing

The campus is unique especially the University Tower and the Law Library is unique in that it has a fantastic collection of oriental rugs and antiques on display at all times. It is actually a museum in itself! Walk around the mall at the base of the tower and get a feel for the educational experience here. It is a unique place. Also the LBJ library which is just north of the main campus has fabulous historical displays from the time of his presidency...Lyndon Baines Johnson, that is..
