That's one of the many reasons why Cherokee will always be special to me.

My university's master plan was done by the Olmsted Bros., and one of the reasons I love my campus so much is because it's so park-like. There are hundreds of trees, and what's interesting is the variety: it is as if we have our own arboretum on campus.
