We had a spat of those when I was in school there. Coincidentally, they were all about the middle of the semester. And they were all in Humanities.

They are doing the right thing, of course, in alerting people and clearing the building. These days you have to be cautious and everyone ought to avoid the area.

But as bomb threats go on a college campus, in my memory, NONE of them has ever turned out to be real. Anybody remember a real one?

I hope Humanities doesn't blow up. That would kinda suck. Although it might give them a reason to re-build it and make it look less crappy.

I haven't heard anything since then, they said that they would send another text message when everything was clear.

If Humanities blew up I would only have 2 classes out of my 5, and there is definitely no where to put those classes, there aren't enough rooms as is.

Just left the building about 20 minutes before the text. There were 4 cops outside, but I thought they were there for the people holding the "SHAME ON JOHN PETERSEN" sign under the torch bearer.
