Pretty and Laid Back Look.

There are actually a fair amount of cute girls around. What I like best is that you don't really get the "material girl" types. People here in general have a more easy-going and natural style. Relationships do happen, though it is a small school and the dating scene can feel a bit stifled at times.

Lenient Punishments

RAs are generally very understanding, and give more warnings than actually writing a student up. Once again, it depends on who you are with and where you are located.

Extremely Safe

I have never felt unsafe on campus. Sometimes it can feel a little bit unnerving to walk alone from the library to the residence halls at night because the campus is in the trees. But I still feel really safe because I know that campus safety is very effective.
