    Augie is a beautiful campus surrounded by giant trees and Augie's famous black squirrels. Augie is also a campus full of elevation so gaining a freshman 15 isn't easy to do. Not to mention students will meet many students of various backgrounds.

    The atmosphere is something I haven't experienced elsewhere. Everyone is friendly and you can get involved in virtually anything! You name it, Augustana has it. If for some reason they don't have it... create it! Odds are that someone else is looking to join your club too!

    The small college and a community feel helps you make friends easily, and have a strong alumni bond after you graduate.
