Great medium sized city with tons to do. Great parks, close to Lake Tahoe and tasty BBQ places. There are more than a dozen BIG events per year so what's not to like

There are many food options on campus and another dozen a block away. Dorms are great for meeting people & getting to class on time. Go Wolf Pack!

LLC dorms are the best unless STEM is your thing & they have a dorm for you. The food courts give you options. Movies are inside theJoe and outside in summer.
