That reminds me way too much of my undergrad alma mater, Cleveland State University. Back when I went it was almost entirely made up of drab (maybe Soviet inspired?) concrete block buildings like this from the 60s-70s. We called it "concrete state university". It reflected the depressed look of the rest of early 2000s downtown Cleveland pretty well. A majority commuter school at the time, little attention was paid to campus life.

On the plus side, the campus and the whole area actually looks a lot nicer now. Also, after it's all said and done I have to say I actually got a pretty decent education too (at the very least it was a great deal for the small state school tuition price). Maybe aesthetics aren't everything.
