Campus is absolutely gorgeous! I can't say I have ever seen a prettier campus. There have been a lot of recent changes that have been huge upgrades: Commencement Walk, Weyerhaueser Hall, and residence hall renovations. Commencement Walk is a new stone path from one end of campus (starting at the library) to the other (ending at the stadium) leading the graduating class to the commencement ceremony. Weyerhaueser Hall is the new health sciences building. It houses the psychology, exercise science, occupational/physical therapy department, labs, and a clinic. Lastly, there have been renovations to the inside of residence halls. They look like hotels inside! They are really great.

The best thing about my school is honestly a hard thing to pick. However, I would say that the best thing is the small campus/student body.

The best thing about University of Puget Sound is its commitment to encourage students to get involved with on-campus activities such as Sororities and Fraternities, clubs, seminars, plays and musicals, concerts, and cultural events.

The class sizes are surprisingly small, which allows students to engage their professors and learn much more adequately than one would be able to at a normal four-year university. The classes are also extensively discussion-based, which further allows students to engage their peers and integrate themselves into the campus community inside and outside of class.

Most of the students are very music and artistically inclined and enjoy being very creative. There are always shows and music and art related events happening on and off campus.

The campus feel and classroom sizes... I had 4 people in my freshmen english class... The campus just feels homey

The campus is very inclusive with a true sense of community - it really does feel like another home to me.
