Okay, everyone, I don’t even know that we can fully capture how mind blowing the setting is here, but Cyrus is going to give it the old college try. College absolutely is one of life’s greatest adventures, but with the best of the Pacific Northwest outside your door, this place is next level. Cyrus, please show us.

– Thanks, Alex. Hi all. I love everything that I get to do here on campus from working as a resident advisor, to being a captain on the men’s ultimate Frisbee team. But off campus here is next level. This area is called point defiance, and it’s just a few miles from campus. I love that I get to go to school here. When I was looking at schools, I knew that I wanted a smaller liberal arts school with a business program on the west coast. So with that criteria, Puget Sound came up pretty quickly. And once I visited, I was hooked. There’s no doubt that I’ve met some of my best friends here. And campus life is awesome. but one of our favorite things to do is get out and take advantage of the Pacific Northwest. Puget Sound outdoors or PSO is a student managed club that runs virtually all of our outdoor programming here. They do hiking trips to Mount Rainier, the cascades and the Olympics, as well as kayaking, climbing and backpacking trips. PSO also runs an outdoor leadership experience course where you can get wilderness advanced first aid certified. PSO also runs the bike shop and the expeditionary where you can rent, gear, get discounted lift tickets, or get a shuttle to some amazing scheme. And of course the school is just a few minutes from the water that were named after. So whether your thing is getting out in the mountains, being immersed in nature, or being out on the water, there’s something here for everyone. And for days you can’t get off campus, we have an awesome indoor climbing gym as well as incredible mountain views. That’s all I got today Alex, I’m headed back out to the trails. Thank you.

– Cyrus I’m heading out to meet you on those trails as soon as I’m done here. It’s so awesome that Puget Sound has so many resources to help students get out there and explore, thanks again, Cyrus.
