    this might one day be a nice place, however, it's currently surrounded by a run down, dilapidated and environmentally toxic abandoned army base and it's ugly buildings. the largest coastal oak woodlands left in california border the campus which are beautiful to hike in, but be sure to get a pamphlet on unexploded ordnance before you go. maybe a nice school in 50 years if the army ever gets motivated to clean up the horrific mess it made.
