"The University of Sydney (informally Sydney University or USyd) is a university located in Sydney, Australia. It is the oldest university in Australia, having been established in 1850.
The main campus is centered on large Oxbridge-inspired grounds which spread across the suburbs of Camperdown and Darlington on the south-western outskirts of the Sydney CBD. The architect Edmund Blacket designed the original Neogothic sandstone Quadrangle and Great Tower buildings, which were completed in 1862."

USYD - Graffiti Tunnel
Graffiti has existed for a long time now ever since the ancient times since the Greeks and The Romans. Today we use this as a tool to communicate political or social issues which we like to project. Spray painting walls, floors and cielings whatever holds spray paint. Even if its punishable by law. These art forms, which some consider mere vandalism do sometimes captivate people. Graffiti has evolved into today's Pop culure and permeated itself...

MacLaurin Hall is the lesser of two major halls within the University of Sydney's Main Quadrangle.
Founded in 1850, the University of Sydney is Australia's first university and is regarded as one of its most prestigious, ranked as the 24th most reputable university in the world. In 2014, it was ranked 37th and in the top 0.3% in the QS World University Rankings. Seven Nobel or Crafoord laureates have been affiliated with the university as graduates and faculty. The University is colloquially known as one of Australia's prestigious "Sandstones", a status similar to that of the "Ivy League" in the United States and the "Russell Group" in the United Kingdom.
The university's Coat of Arms, granted by the College of Arms by order of Queen Victoria, are an amalgamation of the arms of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and important figures, heraldry and other references to the two ancient universities are sprawled throughout the university in its architecture and character. Its motto, "Sidere mens eadem mutato" translated literally gives "Though the stars change, the mind is the same", but has been more liberally translated to give, "Sydney University is really just Oxford or Cambridge laterally displaced approximately 12,000 miles".
The 2013 QS World University Rankings placed Sydney in the top 20 in the world in 11 subjects; more than a third of the 30 measured. The University of Sydney was ranked 8th in the world for Education, 9th in Accounting and Finance and 10th in Law. Additionally, Sydney was placed 12th in English Language and Literature, History and Archaeology, Linguistics and Civil Engineering and Structural Engineering, the highest in Australia of those subjects. Psychology at Sydney was ranked 14th, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, and Communication and Media were ranked 16th, and the Sydney Medical School was ranked 17th.
Its main campus has been ranked in the top 10 of the world's most beautiful universities by the British Daily Telegraph, The Huffington Post and Disney Pixar, among others such as Oxford and Cambridge and is spread across the inner-city suburbs of Camperdown and Darlington.
