Like them, if you are someone who likes the idea of coming home to a community of peers from a variety of different departments to enjoy a beautiful home on a farm close to campus, enjoying the wrap-around porch and watching grazing horses and beautiful sunsets over the prairie, then this is for you. Tie your hammock between the trees, have a barbecue with housemates on the farm, engage in conversations around the fire pit in summer or the cozy wood burning stone fireplace in the winter.
