The perks of a cool city campus.
You can see the trees and buildings and traffic (and the occasionally hot chicks if you happen to be looking at the right time) behind you.
There are retractable blinds operated by a switch (which the prof likes to play with) if the sun's up and gets too bright till we cant see whats on our laptop screens (which are usually msn conversations or email checking or games or whatnots).
And it makes everybody happy. =)
