That is interesting! When you go to their website and look for famous alumni, Manning is right there on top. There’s also a Peyton Manning drive on campus. It’s a totally sports focused campus/community. Wonder why the journalism dept isn’t on board…things that make ya go hhhmmm…
Congrats! Long way from home. You’ll have to swap clam chowder and lobster rolls for BBQ! We checked out the airport. It’s literally about a 12 minute cab ride from campus and has lots of non-stop flights to cities on the east coast. Good luck!
