I visited there a few months ago to check out the chemistry department. It's beautiful! Everybody is nice there and it doesn't seem very cut throat. The food is good and the area is great. You hardly need to ever drive, there are busses everywhere. Also, I saw some really cool lasers there if you like that kind of thing ;)
