The Cube is a fun piece of artwork to visit. It also sits in front of one of the most architecturally interesting buildings in Ann Arbor. Built during the time of campus unrest caused by the Vietnam war, this building's windows were designed to confuse vandals. You can't tell which window is on which floor.

The center point of downtown campus, the diag is the space between the buildings that house the required undergraduate courses. It's full of life. Also squirrels. There are so many and so tame that they will in fact eat out of your hand. There is even a student organized club that feeds them weekly.
