A Cup of College


One large Milky Way drink at the Ugly Mug located on Cross Avenue in Ypsilanti Mich.



YPSILANTI, Mich. - One large Milky Way and a cinnamon roll please.

The strong smell of coffee beans fills ones nose as the beans are ground and steamed to make that perfectly fresh cup of coffee. While the Police play in the background, one gets drawn into the ambiance that is the Ugly Mug. From professors to students and out of town guests enjoy coming to the Ugly Mug, not only for a good cup of coffee but also some solitude. Students come here for a real cup of coffee rather than the over processed and high priced look a like you can get at Starbucks, and it gets one off the hectic campus.

Meeting Michael


Michael Maksymowski a student at Eastern Michigan University and resident in Best Hall who can give an honest look into dorm life. This picture was taken of Michael goofing off with friends in a store while in Stratford Canada.


YPSILANTI, Mich. –  Best Hall Front Desk, this is Michael speaking how can I help you?


At Eastern Michigan University the Best Hall front desk is the center of activity on any given night in the residence hall. Between residents coming to get toilet paper, rent a game, or any other item that is offered; the desk is never short for visitors. When nightwatch, the night time security, shows up it seems as if there is a crowd at the desk, and quite often it is to talk to the person working.
