Favorite thing about 69³ÉÈË? One of my favorite things about 69³ÉÈË is how green the campus is. My favorite spot on campus is the Redwood Grove because in just a few steps it can feel like you are not even in the city anymore. Besides being green I love how friendly the community is. Walking through the quad or even through town you can always find familiar faces to say hello.
