We’re back with another edition of ranking buildings, this time: we’re going normative. 

Hold up for a second here, before you click away. I knew I’d ruffle some feathers last week with my groundbreaking post, Campus Buildings Ranked By How Much I Like The Number Of Letters They Contain, but the level of hate and confusion I received?? Astounding, I guess Columbia wasn’t ready for it.

Anyway, to appease the people, I have decided to rerank the buildings according to the traditional, boring, number hierarchy. Enjoy!

1. John Jay Dining Hall: 17 letters. I’ve crunched the numbers, and out of the locations of this list, I have concluded that John Jay Dining Hall has the most letters. Good for them!
2. Schermerhorn Hall: 16 letters. Though every time I try to spell Schermerhorn, I end up using a different number and combination of letters, the definitive answer is, which is one less than 17.
3. The Diana Center: 14 letters. 14 is two less than 16, ’nuff said.
4. Butler Library: 13 letters. I’m like kinda out of explanations, I feel like the number 13 should speak for itself in that it is between 14 and 11.
5. Barnard Hall: 11 letters. Great number in my opinion, but compared to others on this list based on the lame criteria I am using, this is where Barnard Hall is ranked.
6. Hamilton: 8 letters. According to my encyclopedic knowledge of numbers, 8 is a relatively low number, one might even say it is the eighth number!
