I want to study in Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, at least in the Sorbonne or some kind of college where classes are great, the infrastructure is beautiful and practical, with outdoor spaces with lots of grass to sit (for picnics with other students, or to read by yourself) and just relax. I want to be taught by Professors Researchers, and I wanna be able to take every book that i need to read from the university's library. I want cafeterias with a few normal options for lunch at a cheap price, and coffee from the uni café or from those shitty coffee vending machines.
So I assume you’re all aware of my devotion to fics depicting the Parisianness of the Amis correctly (I.e not having them live 5 minutes from the Eiffel Tower if they are broke college students, having them be somewhat diverse etc.. etc..) this has all culminated in this: can we all stop pretending all the Sorbonne buildings are beautiful and ancient please some of us have to sit through classes in the most anti-aesthetic places and I’m tired of the lack of ugly Sorbonne representation ☹️. Yes of COURSE everyone wants to have classes right next to the pantheon and of course it’s the prettiest building ever so I rlly don’t blame you but realistically it might look something like this:

By the way, the building I drew is the Centre Pierre Mendes (more commonly called Centre Tolbiac… -or Tolby, by me-), it’s one of the Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne buildings, and it’s mostly used by the social sciences students (me), economics students and sometimes some law students… it looks like this:
