Favorite On-Campus Event:
Art Attack concerts are always fun. In the past we've had Ludacris, The Bravery, Wycleaf Jean, Cobra Starship, and others come play for us. The sporting events are always great as well. No matter which sport it is, the games are always an enjoyable way to have fun and take a break from classes.
