I don’t love it, but feel like it’s more just generic than actively ugly

Where it really scores poorly IMO is not the campus itself but the surrounding area. There doesn’t really seem to be any sort of real campus town type neighborhood with bars and businesses and restaurants catering to the students. It’s a campus and then straight residential suburbs on 3 sides and a urban highway/throughway on the 4th.

Since Sprout is down at UMD I decided to pull the trigger this year and go to the game with him.
