We have to admit it – summer in Newark is pretty nice without the students:
- There’s little traffic on Cleveland Ave.
- Newark Bagel doesn’t have a permanent line out the door.
- Semi-suicidal jaywalkers don’t roam the street, jumping in front of your car.
- One need not dodge bikers riding on the sidewalk (when they shouldn’t be!).
That said, it’s great to see campus getting ready for the return of the kids. There’s an energy in air when Newark’s population increases by about 15,000 Blue Hens that is simply awesome.
With that in mind, check out the photos of the Rodney Residence Hall Complex – the dumpsters are a give away that this weekend marks the return of students. Stay tuned, loyal readers, more photos chronicling “The Return” will be posted throughout the next week.
