Is the new Heriot-Watt Dubai campus better than old?

Does the charm of new purpose built Heriot-Watt Dubai Campus match the old? Yes, the aura, the verve, the buzz around? Maybe a simple 'yes' for most, yet maybe 'no' for some which cannot be ignored. While the room for large-scale technical developments remain of good potential, regular complaints on petty issues are often echoed. Confer your views here.

I am definitely for the new Campus... Though it was a pity I couldn't study there... I have seen around the place.. looks like a well established university now..

Yes for me. Much less cramped.

New campus yo!!! (Y)

a simple 'YES' it is then..

No its not. Definitely not.

Old campus was cramped but much much more social, which is what a student needs.

okay i am glad someone brought it up, i miss the old campus simply because of the aura, ambience and the blue theme! Classroom's in the new campus don't exactly go by the blue feel which i found very attractive when i first visited the old campus. YES! we have space and everything else but less "university" like for me or it could simply mean i am used to the old one! haha old habits die hard

The bolded part says it all. Good observation!
