The Triangle

You have got to be kidding me. Do any of these people realize what Second Life really is?

"Second Life is this massive virtual world where people come from all corners of the bad internet to awkwardly socialize and have pretend sex with people from even worse corners of the internet. It's furries reading poetry to people who think they're vampires that are performing oral sex on 40 year old diaper-wearing manbabies next to a grown man pretending to be an 8 year old Japanese girl with a neon green glowing dragon penis while a giant tentacled pregnant centaur with shitting dicknipples sprays a mixture of semen and feces over a dance floor while teenage boys who are dressed like they came from The Matrix dance to music from Initial D while shooting rainbows out of Final Fantasy gunblades."

The main building is 15 stories high and a floor is not necessarily a College. Any group of people associated with Drexel is welcome to space. For example IRT just took the 12th floor at our workshop last week. We would be delighted to have student groups participate as well.

The Second Life environment offers a great platform for creative approaches to information sharing and community building around an endless variety of topics. So far, the Drexel Island environment is in the early stages of development, as are most islands being developed by other universities and other enterprises. The Behavioral Health Counseling undergraduate program floor on Drexel Island?s main building is being designed to provide opportunities for learning about a variety of mental health and substance abuse issues. Another goal is to help reduce the stigma associated with mental illness through information sharing. People contributing their visions and skills to create unique ways of exploring and experiencing various subjects are ultimately what make building in Second Life fun and worthwhile.

The great part of the Second Life learning environment is the fact that it is user-controlled, and this is especially the case thanks to the no limits (e.g. no push or build limits) on Drexel University's Island.
I must bring to attention though that DU Island's running out of primspace... :(

To Mike:
Yeah, all the mature and really creepy stuff exists on the Second Life world. Can't be helped though, and it can't be blocked. The one thing that I'd noticed, though, is that I don't see one bit of that in Drexel Island (Except on my AV :D) so, really, the best piece of advice concerning your furry-phobia on SL is to stay as much as possible on DU Island. It's not like the other parts of SL are _that_ educational. And visits to furry-worlds aren't a part of Drexel's curriculum in any major (I hope :D).

Also, Bradley's a cat-man on SL. So there's really no escaping it.
