Classrooms
Whether it'd be science labs, computer labs or regular classrooms, Bayridge Academy has been given a grant for brand new material for 2012. Education is valued strongly at this school. Remember, always be on time for classes or you'll suffer unfair consequences!

Principal's Office
Unlike most Principal's, Principal Mitchell is one that actually enjoys being there for his students. Some say he may try a little too hard to become their friends while others love him to death! Teachers believe his ways may be a bit unorthodox. Whether you got in huge trouble or you're getting praised, this is where it'll happen!

Cafeteria
The cafeteria is usually where most of the freshmen and sophomores eat as the majority of the juniors and seniors have cars meaning they can eat out at better places. The cafeteria food is surprisingly good and there's only been 4 cases of food poisoning which have all occurred in the 1980s! Like any other cafeteria, everybody is separated among cliques.

Auditorium
This is where the majority of important school events, such as plays and mandatory meetings are held. Due to the larger number of students now going to the school, the auditorium is now twice the size it was before, with enough seats to support all of the student body as well as faculty.

Gymnasium
Gym classes are separated by sex or co-ed depending on what you sing up for at the beginning of the year, and the gymnasium is a huge building connected to the locker rooms with doors leading outside to the track and field. A lot of indoor basketball and volleyball games are held here.

Dormitories
Dorms are separated by gender, and the school has strict rules about people of the opposite sex rooming together and will do random dorm checks to make sure everything's in order. Dorms are open for kids to stay in year round, since not everyone has a home in Bayridge to go to.

Sports Grounds
Since not all sports can be held indoors, the sports grounds includes the baseball and soccer fields, football stadium, track field, etc. So if you're a jock, this is where you'll be spending a lot of your spare time.

Music Hall
You know those kids who just can't seem to stop singing? Yeah, this is where they'll typically hang out. The music hall is where you'll find your chorus, band, and basically any other classes pertaining to music.

Parking Lot
This is pretty self-explanatory, but the school's parking lot is wrapped around most of the outskirts of the Bayridge Academy Grounds. Both students and faculty may park their cars here.

Classrooms
Classrooms will vary in size depending on the curriculum being taught. So, unlike Bayridge Academy, your class might have over a hundred students, or twelve students. Remember not to miss any of your classes or you'll be lost the next class!

Quads
The quads are basically like the "hallways" of the University. Like high school hallways, this is where you'll see people on their way to their next classes or simply hanging out in their free time.

Library
The library at UB is know for being far more impressive than any other college library in the state of Massachusetts. With two whole floor packed to the ceiling with novels, science fiction, history, and any other kind of book you can think of, this is a popular spot for students to work on their assignments and study for exams.

Caferteria
The cafeteria at UB is more like a colossal building, much like in a mall, with a huge variety of places to eat. Italian, chinese, desserts, whatever you like as long as you can pay for it! Most people refer to it as the "food court", and the place can get pretty packed around lunch and dinner time.

Auditorium
Remember that huge building back in high school where all the school plays and important announcement meetings were held? The auditorium here is a lot like that, except much, much bigger. A lot of the time, fundraisers such as concerts performed by live bands will play here when the gamma beta delta nu sorority decides to do them.

On-Campus Housing
These are where the dorms for students can be found. Unlike many colleges, the University of Bayridge prides itself in knowing that their students will have enough room to study in the comfort of their own dorms. Each dorm room can have up to four people, and if you'd rather have a single dorm, those can also be provided as well.

Greek Rows
Since just about everyone at the university is in some sort of sorority or fraternity, what would the students do without greek rows?

Sports Grounds
Go Badgers! The sports grounds here at UB are mostly used for football, and there's a gigantic stadium to prove it. The stadium is large enough to hold the entire student population, and a lot of the games there are shown on television, so remember to smile!

Parking Lot
The parking lot for the University can be rather limited in spaces around the building, and is mostly used for faculty, but there are some student parking spots if you know how to get to them. However, most students end up either walking or using the bus system that UB provides.

Mall
If you're ever looking for a place swarming with teenage girls, this is the place to be. It's where most high schoolers as well as college students go to both hang out and shop, and is open from 10AM to 6PM.

Splash
Splash is a pretty big tourist attraction. It's a beautiful beach that's a 10 minute walk from the Central Park. It has an amazing board walk with mini boutiques and restaurants. Recently a few years ago, an amusement park with all sorts of rides, games and water slides was added in to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Bayridge. It's open all year for the exception of the water slides which are only open throughout the months of May - September! Fireworks happen every two weeks as well! Whether you're going to hangout with your friends, family, or date, this is the place!

Clubs and Pubs
The clubs and pubs of Bayridge are normally for the older kids, not high schoolers, but that sure doesn't stop them! Although he legal drinking age in Massachusetts is 21, some of the clubs will still allow kids 18 and older so long as they have an ID (however fake it might be) on them.

Housing
Here you'll find the off-campus housing, where mostly families or graduated students live. There are times when college or even high school students would rather live in apartments near school, but most tend to live in dorms rather have to pay for housing and transportation.

This is where the dead stuff goes. A thread will become dead if it hasn't been active within a full two weeks. Completed character requests will go here too. If you are done with your thread because it's either dead or completed, same for your character request, simply tell an admin and they will move it here.
