No fence...

I would like to recommend the campus of U.of I. to my friend. When I came here, buildings on the U. of I. campus were interesting to me. They didn't have any fence. That is the different part between Korean University and American University. For example, Korean Uni. have their own areas and boundaries by fence. Every building and place is enclosed by a boundary, Also, if anybody wants to visit through the entrance or gate, where they check all vehicles and visitors to admit in. On the other hand, American Uni. are mixed up with other buildings such as shops, houses, etc. I think that Korean Uni. is more authority than American Uni. but American Uni. is more friendly than Korean Uni. These differences might have both advantages and disadvantages. Also, if I tell my Korean friends this system, they certainly will be interested in this.

Wow,so if I try to pass the gate, do I certainly take an ID check? That's very thorough security. I'm sure your friends will be impressed by huge University.
But you know what?
I have seen some Universities in the US have a fence as a gate.

You have an interesting perspective on the U of I. I hadn't thought about the fact that there is no fence around the University. Universities are different in different places. In big cities, there are security devices. The university I went to was not fenced, but it was separate from the town, not mixed with the town like the U of I. Maybe you could visit some other campuses around the US!
