    Nice people. Friendly. Some items are expensive though. But what isn't in our generation?

    I live on a college campus which I feel safe at although there is a lot of crime that takes place near the campus which is uncomfortable.
    Some days I love it and some days I hate it. Overall, I'm making it.
