The feeling I get on campus is the most important thing about this school to me. It's sometimes hard to describe, but I can compare it being home. It seems totally comfortable to me, from the first day I set foot on the campus. It feels as though I belong here, and the school welcomes people from many various lifestyles in the same way it welcomed me. I think that is awesome, and always take pride in the comfort Drake seems to provide to everyone, regardless of their differences.
