I work on North Campus, and while it’s gotten better in recent years, it’s still in many ways a dead zone. Unlike Central Campus, which is pretty integrated with the city, North Campus is really isolated–there’s very little retail nearby, and there are only so many meals you can eat at Quizno’s or Panda before you start to lose it. Bursley has a kind of hothouse culture, and if you fit in it’s great–I have students who love it–but if not, it can be pretty isolating (Baits can be like the Gulag). And transportation back and forth to Central is crowded and, outside of certain hours, can involve a lot of waiting.
