Campus
CAMPUS LIFE

A small college inside a college town.

We live on a walkable 180-acre campus in a college town of 45,000 people. 98% of first-years live on campus; most stay for all four years. There are 211 student organizations, 23 varsity teams, and more a cappella groups than anyone can reasonably explain.

Students run the radio station, edit the weekly paper, cook Friday night feasts, stage midnight plays, and sometimes just read poetry on the quad on a warm afternoon.
