As a transfer student there was no on campus housing available but it's not too hard to find housing in the village. The campus and town are within walking distance and it's a close knit community. There are buses that run through town and campus. The town has a hippie/artsy vibe with lots of low key bars, restaurants, trendy shops. The students are pretty friendly and down to earth. You don't feel like a number and the staff is supportive, but you do need to stay on top of things and advocate for yourself.

The mountains are nearby and cool for hiking and climbing. I hope to go camping in the spring. Lots of tourists come on the weekends and when the weather is nice the town is packed.

There isn't a lot of support for transfers but it's not too hard to make your way and meet people. The only down side I have encountered is that there are more drugs than I thought there would be but also a good amount of clean folks. It's just a matter of finding your niche.
