Student Responses to Review Topic: Am I Enjoying Being Here

    While Moscow isn't the prettiest town, the campus of UOI is a beautiful and exciting place to be. There's always some free event for students to attend: a movie at the Borah Theater, a football game in the Kibbie Dome, a play put on by the theater department, and much more. There is an air of openness and friendliness on campus. It still has the typical campus problems of students drinking and caroling in the parking lot at one in the morning., but there is a great deal of wonderful randomness, such as discovering a pine tree wearing underwear in the elevator or a group of students playing Jedi Quidditch on the Tower lawn. The only thing I miss on campus is sleep.

    I love the campus and the town, everything is so close together. The campus is beautiful throughout all seasons. The Greek life here is also such a great experience that I will remember for a life the time.

    Moscow is like New York in that it never sleeps. There is always something to do in this cozy little town, and there's even more going on on campus. There are clubs and organizations for any interest you may have, and tons of shops and restaurants in the town for your enjoyment.
