What are your general comments?

"The other comments on SDN seemed to make TUCOM out to be totally ugly and the students to be unhappy. I did not find this to be the case at all. The students I spoke with had other options and were generally happy attending TUCOM. There are plenty of trees and grass on campus, right near the water. The big abandoned NAVY buildings aren't crumbling or anything, and they impart a feeling that could be eerie but wasn't for me. Seems like the campus would be a great place to study, nice and quiet, few distractions. SF is very close and there is tons to do if one looks for it. Seriously considering attending..."
