The campus is beautiful, but I don't feel as though I fit in. Maybe the idea of the whole 'college experience' just doesn't fit my personality. The professors and the other students are usually very nice, though.

The people here are nice, and as I said, the diversity is great. You will find many people with similar interests, as well as getting to know others that are different.
