My personal preference is that I just go to college, regardless of the town area. I actually like the quaint area because of the mix of brand name and mom and pop shops. For an outsider, you might have to go about an hours way for some entertainment but I like the area. The campus is beautiful and the conservatory is just so fitted into life here. The dorms are cool and I loved Kolman Hall.

Everything is within one's grasp; literally everything is within a comfortable walking distance. The people are very friendly and intellectual, but not in competitive manner like larger schools. Professors really invest time into their students which enhances understanding and offers students reliable references for the future.
