I remember one of my friend's roommates last year thought ITB was the stupidest acronym ever to choose for a building because he thinks it's universally known that that is the acronym for "In the butt".
I facepalmed and lol'd simultaneously.

You're most likely not going to have any classes for half the buildings in that list. You'll have the ones you need to memorize memorized in no time.

Oh, did they finish that building? I forgot about it completely, mainly because it wasn't on the map.
