CAMPUS BUILDING

This is one of the campus buildings that we saw.

In athletics, they are NCAA Division III, which means no athletic scholarships. Athletes certainly can have academic scholarships, however. Their sports teams are known as the "fighting Muskies."

IN TOWN, off campus

JUST A RANDOM SHOT TAKEN along a street in town, not on the campus.

NEW CONCORD is located along highway 22/40 and is beside interstate 70 in eastern Ohio. It is between Zanesville and Cambridge.

• Pros:It seemed like a nice town to us.
• Cons:no cons
• In a nutshell:Its fine with us.
