A look back in pictures: Fall classrooms across campus

The hustle of campus in this final week of fall-semester courses is making everyone feel the crunch. We thought this was a perfect time to slow down for a minute and think back to the opening days of classes and beyond. You've all come a long way in 15 weeks, from those of you in your first-ever college classes to the seniors about to call it a wrap! 

Here's a collection of photos that span a wide variety of departments, course types and campus locations. Maybe you know these faculty or classrooms, and maybe it gives you a better idea of what to expect in some spring-semester courses.
