Taking in the peaceful stroll to class 🌲✨

Fun fact: Kresge students formed intimate "kin groups." These intimate circles turned neighbors into family, blending late-night chats with academic conversations.

And the security? Instead of traditional police, the college paid students $7 a night to patrol the forest "armed with nothing but the ethic of individualism." 🛡🐌
