Thanks for the info, DisneyFan25863. Your post got me interested in the campus buildings and surroundings, so I found this
LINK for CSU Channel Islands photos. I've finished college, but still enjoy visiting different college campuses.
The campus setting and environment does make a difference--beside academic reputation, quality of professors and classes, majors offered, etc. If you're going to spend a lot of money and dedicate four (or more) years of your life at a particular college/university, it's an important factor in determining your enjoyment, study habits, and overall college experience if you "like" the place.
