    An honestly underrated green space on campus. My only complaint is that car drivers can get excited about their "rides" and push out pedestrians from crossing or make obnoxious levels of noise and air pollution. Stick to the west side with the heavy tree cover for a better time. Recently installed heat wells are also a fantastic use of the space for geothermal heating, which I am personally proud of!

    The south oval is spacious and makes south campus feel more open. It's nice to walk through on your way around campus.

    Visited this in the fall and colors were super nice. Very well taken care of. We Came here to eat lunch ok our way out of town and it was the perfect spot. Little tricky to find parking but still doable.

    Not comparable to the much larger and more celebrated Oval. Still a nice area to relax in between classes or just to get out of the dorms. Definitely smaller than the Oval, but less populated as well.
