School Spirit
While students are proud to be Kangaroos, an outsider wouldn't notice it based on attendance at the athletic events. Students are happy to brag about any other aspect of campus, such as academics, service activities, and student organizations. However, athletics are definitely lacking in the school spirit department.
Getting Tickets
All sporting events have free admission, and there's never a problem finding a good seat.
Best Place to Take a Walk
Around the outskirts of campus and Herman Baker Park's nature trail
