The campus features mainly European classical architecture—red brick, pointed roofs, arches and corridors—set against well-trimmed lawns and flower beds. Walking through, you might feel as if you're in a small European town.
The area emphasizes a cultural atmosphere. The library, art exhibition halls, and sculptural pieces are scattered throughout the campus, offering both academic character and visual appeal.
