This is what our campus looks like during the winter holiday, when students are gone: Empty! During the semester you’ll never find the campus anywhere near as deserted as this, as there are crowds of students everywhere (pretty much at any given time). And I must confess, though I miss the interaction with the students, I really do enjoy our campus being this quiet and solitary. It’s a rare occasion and therefore must be savored, especially since the number of students grows every year!
