I love how my school is located near the Shawnee National Forest! It provides such an intense outdoor experience. I am going to school for forestry/horticulture so its location near such a great natural resource is phenomanal for me. It provides an incredible educational experience, a place to witness the actual events of the concepts that I will be learning. It is also a giant outdoor playground to run around and be free when the stress of life get to be too much!

Melissa

I mostly brag about how I am able to understand the campus and everything it has to offer. I tell them how most of the professors know your name, and really try to help you succeed.

Ryan

Soicailly it is awesome, there are a lot of girls who go there and they are very friendly and fun to be around. The other students for the most part are very accepting of everyone, and there are enough social activities that everyone can find something to do and some place to fit in. Living in the dorms my freshman year has been a great way to meet other students.

Allison

I really love the campus at school and I mostly brag about that when talking to my friends. Our campus is basically set up within one large circular road and is separate from the town. When you are walking to class, everything is about the same distance appart and you don't have to worry about crossing major roads to get to your next class. However, if you want to find something to do off campus, all the excitement is within walking distance! Also, our campus is very beautiful. We even have our own small forest right no campus!

I brag about the track and field's team. I am going to join next year and I see them training around campus. I get excited because I know some of the girls on the team from high school and they inspire me to do better. They are good but I want to be better. I also talk about the recreational center that we have. There are so many things we could do, like rock climb, swim in an Olympic size pool, multiple weight lifting rooms, etc. The school really cares about their student. And it's free to students.
