College life is more than classes, books, tests and residence hall rooms, it's connecting
with other people, making lifelong friends and future colleagues and building relationships
with experienced faculty who can be a resource in your career and your life for years to
come. If you like the laid-back and friendly atmosphere, Butler in El Dorado is for you. The
El Dorado campus has many settings to relax, to do your homework or simply just chill. All
of the athletic activities are located at the El Dorado campus, including all the scholarship
programs. The El Dorado campus has a variety of clubs and organizations you can get
involved in. The El Dorado campus has so many buildings, so many lounges, and many
computer labs. All of the buildings are surrounded by parking lots, so parking isn't much of
a problem here. The El Dorado campus has made thousands of students feel like it's their
home so, therefore, Butler in El Dorado is a great place to be at.

What makes this campus so unique is their alienware/3-D media computer lab. This lab
is the only one in the Midwest region. This makes Butler stand out from any big universities
or competing community schools. Students that are majoring in any form of graphic arts
really appreciate their opportunity to become better and learn in this classroom.
The campus has also been known to be very easy to get around in. The building is
formed in a "hallway" shape, which makes it easy to navigate classroom to classroom.
Worried about not finding parking? That never has to be a worry here. The parking lot
surrounds the whole building, set up with doors in front and back for every hallway. Most
students would probably agree that the clean and open atmosphere, the nice facilities
and the quick access environment gives the Andover campus an A.

Definitely computers
Melina Escalante StaffWriter
Electronics plays a big part when it
comes to Algebra in college. The pro-
gram that students are using at Butler
is the Hawks Learning System. The pro-
gram brings a jumper that contains your
personal access code and is a gadget to
save your work in. The Hawks system
includes all the student's homework,
tests, other miscellaneous assignments
and extra credit. The system lets you
see your math grade whenever you
want, so that way you can stay on top of Alexandrea Knapp

comes to turning in assignments. The

e old-fashioned textbook to learn the course of Algebra
Stick to the books

Books have never stopped play-

Everywhere you go, books are there.

Algebra plays an important part to

that you don't need Internet and com-
