Recognize this building?

It’s Slichter Hall on the University of Wisconsin campus. That probably doesn’t mean much to anyone … except that this building was used as the exterior for the dorm of Rodney Dangerfield, a.k.a. Thornton Melon, in the 1980s classic Back to School.

The Wisconsin campus was used as a stand-in for the fictional Grand Lakes University, so I asked everyone around whether it would be okay if I found a terry-cloth robe and walked across the campus like Rodney. No one laughed. I reckon I need a better audience.
