Something that you would not expect to be NTU at all.

I chose this photo because for a university with the word “technological” in its name, its website is not very “technologically savvy”, per se, it is quite difficult to navigate.

Somebody not studying in NTU.

The statue itself is not studying in NTU, nor is the person depicted. However, he has contributed to the school and still has significance on its grounds.

The family in the background does not study in NTU, however the two freshmen do (in the foreground) and I think this has a nice contrast in the photo. In the past, when I came to visit the campus without being a student, I remember the kind of detachment that arose from not being a student there; it’s interesting to think about how as freshmen we used to be like that family, visitors.

A photo with faculty.

Something that shows what the Earth Observatory might be about.

The long hallway signifies a journey of discovery and the large earth map on the side shows that it is about the earth. The light on top tells of seismic activity/earthquakes which is what they study; and they fuel curiosity which is shown by the student
