Favorite place on campus: DePauw's main entrance on Anderson Street, without a doubt, is one of my favorite places and views on our campus. I remember it as the first sight of campus I had as a prospective student, and I continue to take that drive into campus whenever possible. Not only is it picturesque, but seeing East College on the horizon, you just get this awesome feeling that you've truly arrived. That grand entrance was one of the many characteristics about DePauw's campus that stuck with me since touring as a prospective student.
