“Sandy Park and Fourth Street feeling like a real neighborhood, how the campus can be quiet on Fridays because so many of us commute, that some lectures move fast and feel crowded, and that the school spirit is genuine once you plug into a club or team, even if the party scene doesn’t match the Beach nickname at first glance.”
