Okay, so maybe the squirrels on campus aren’t cute when they’re dragging garbage out of the trash cans. Or when they give you death glares and direct their hacking/hissing noises towards you. Or when they scamper around with unpredictable direction. Nonetheless, our campus is home to many. Sharing is caring.
