Best-of-Around-town

California State University Monterey Bay

100 Campus Center, Seaside | (831) 582-3000, csumb.edu

A nationally renowned disc-golf course. The wild turkeys lurking behind Oaks Hall. On-campus farmers markets. Study abroad opportunities in over 100 locations around the world. A newly built Business and Information Technology Building with touch-screen white boards. CSUMB famously transformed the former Fort Ord Army base into an educational and innovative environment for 7,000-plus current Otters, and another transformation awaits: the improvement of walkways, bike paths and landscapes to create a pedestrian-prioritized (and beautiful) campus.
