“I’m really excited. I’m excited that I don’t have to walk all the way to the Cage, especially in this weather. It’s more convenient for me since I literally live upstairs,” said Micaela Cleland, a senior majoring in accounting and a resident assistant at Res Rec.
Freshmen Brandon Lockhart, majoring in actuarial science, said that he was unaware of Freshens prior to its reopening. Deonta Jones, a freshmen majoring in biochemistry, added, “I guess it’s still convenient for us because we both live in the middle of the campus. All we have to do is walk down the hill to get our smoothie.”
