Fun, and don't have to be a student to visit.

Had a lovely time touring the campus, even though I was not a student. There is so much to see, and where to start? Several buildings have either museums or objects on display. Of note were the Art Museum and the Aeronautics building with its airplanes on display. There is a bell tower where they play music and in some cases, a perky co-ed will kiss you. The day I visited there were hammocks out, and student Jousting on the green.

    Overall nice place
    It's what you'd expect from a nice State University - the grounds are well kept, there are some nice looking buildings, and amenities/transportation can all be taken care of on campus. There's a couple little museums, a handmade ice cream store, and others to see for those who aren't students, and just visiting. Some buildings can definitely use some renovation though - notably Gilman and Physics Halls. For those that often have to go to these buildings you can see the age really show.

    Nice campus.
    The academic programs and research are better than the campus looks. One of my favorite this is the horses on campus. Laid out rather odd if you don't know your way around. Buildings could stand some power washing. Nice campus bookstore.
