I enjoy cutting-edge learning spaces in the Hub Central and Barr Smith Library. Also, the mixed culture of the east and the west is incredible; I've made friends who come from different continents.

I wanted to go to a reputable university, in a nice, diverse, and semi-quiet city. The location is perfect for someone like me who enjoys a slower-paced environment where I can still enjoy events, festivals, and city life.
