Spent a lovely morning on campus admiring the architecture and green spaces, but it began raining in the afternoon. That's when things got muddy and slippery! I suppose the students are used to it, but as I am...mature...I don't like getting muddy any more. The campus is a great place for a relaxing stroll, just make sure it's a dry... More

We live close to the University and visit the grounds quite often. It is incredible for walking and riding our bikes. Nice place just to sit and relax.

The roots block on Sundays are my fave, but they also cover sports, theatre and experimental music. Tune in and see plus if you don't live in the area you can... More
