Room BPLG The Green Monster
... we walked down more than a few flights of stairs to get out. Once we were at the bottom we yanked the door open to find ourselves in a deserted court yard that looked as if it had been used as both a junk yard and forsaken graded. Once on the street we saw that we were literally on the other side of the university about two blocks down the road to the main entrance.
