This is that gorgeous view from Monument Hill, looking down on the heart of the campus. Monument Hill is on the dairy route (see below).
This is on the West Dell, near Babcock, the general performing arts building where I lived as a music major and a member of P&P, the theater tap club. Tap clubs are the closest thing Sweet Briar has to sororities--they're selective societies with some differences: you can be in more than one, you don't live in a house, and you aren't rushed, you're "tapped" (that is, woken up in the middle of the night and hazed for a day).
This is the Bell Tower, a campus landmark in the middle of the Quad.
One of the several ponds on campus, on the way to the Boathouse.
This is my friend Krista and me, on the last leg of the dairy route. At that time Sweet Briar had a working dairy, which is why when Playboy did an article on colleges they called us the preppy milkmaids (a nickname which stuck). The dairy route was a three-mile route that went past Monument Hill, the stables and then the dairy. Many students would jog or walk it regularly, as I did. I look pregnant in this picture, due to the way my tee-shirt is poufing out.
