Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

When I have to time and I am done studying I like to attend football games in the fall and baseball games in the spring. I like the older parts of campus where there is a lot of trees and shade and not a lot of students walking around, makes it a nice outdoor place to get some reading and studying done.
