Overview of Alma College

---

The college is an integral part of the town, so you’re liable to spend as much time in one as you do the other. The town is the only populated area in a larger, rural area filled with mostly farms. This makes it much easier for you to learn your way around the area and find your favorite places to relax but may not be optimal for those who are looking to have access to some kind of night life.
