My favorite place on campus is the Dew Drop Bridge. It's a small wooden bridge that leads to the little grassy island in the middle of Dew Drop Pond. With its many spectacular views, the bridge feels peaceful. The skyline of Minneapolis peeks over the distant
treetops, and the view of the Chapel is breathtaking — especially at night when it's all lit up. In the summer, the front lawn is inviting, and the hill in front of the Chapel has rose bushes in full bloom.

In the winter, I love to stand on the bridge and watch neighborhood kids and college students laughing together while they slide down the hill. It's also a great place to simply sit and enjoy good company. It's the perfect place to be.
