Favorite Place On Campus: Sitting on Hartman Green in the Spring or studying in the Weis Great Room! Advice: After deciding that a small liberal arts college is for you, make sure you get a genuine feel for the students on campus. Take notice if people hold the door for each other, if and if they are interacting with other students as they walk by. It is important to find a campus where you can see yourself in the spaces and becoming potential friends with the students.
