Pull up a seat on a grassy knoll.

The greenery wasn’t too hard to find was it?

As summer quickly approaches and the weather is beginning to look more and more like spring, one thing students can be grateful for is being part of the NU community.

An experience at NU is unlike any other college or university in any city, including Boston. Where else can you attend a school in the middle of a city and have a campus so centralized that getting from one class to the other doesn’t require public transportation or track spikes? Where else can you take a break between classes, reading a book on a park bench, while still on campus? Where else do the birds sit in trees and chirp outside your classroom windows?

While NU has many aspects to boast to perspective students and campus onlookers — its goal of the top 100, its co-op title, its facilities and its faculty — one thing that seems overshadowed is the campus itself and the scenery it adds to its urban surroundings.

At this time of the year, flowers blooming, sun shining brightly and temperatures that let you wear whatever clothing you deem necessary, it is pleasure to be on campus.

It is a rare occasion to see a campus similar to that of our very own and its time we take pride.
