As you pull up to the college, you have a scenic view of Pearly Pond, which is beautiful as the mist forms a layer on top. One of the upper class-man dorms over sees this lake from their townhomes. Beautiful, sprawling and hilly campus located in a more remote and picturesque part of NH, with Mt. Monadnock as a backdrop.
