On top of the parking garage at night. The stars are so clear up there and its so beautiful. The trick is to go right before the sun goes down so you can see the sunset, then stay to go stargazing. Its incredibly beautiful.
Anytime I give a tour it becomes the most memorable experience I have had. I just love it so much, getting to talk to new people and hang out with my co-workers. it is probably my favorite thing to do on campus I get to meet someone new and I never know where they might be from. I have given tours to people as far as California and as close as right down the road. Giving tours just makes me happy and gives me energy for the day.
Because it feels like home. I already knew a lot of the professors and people that work on campus. I grew up five minutes down the road so I was always used to it. it already felt like I knew the whole campus when I finally became a student here. It has just always felt like a second home to me.
