The Retreat at Lake Tamaha

My son ( current freshman) is looking to live next year at the Retreat at Lake Tamaha. Based on the website it looks ridiculous nice (certainly compared to the off campus dumps I lived in). Couple questions for anyone with experience living there:

  1. It is pretty far off campus. Did you feel isolated from the campus?

  2. How did you get back and forth to campus? They provide a shuttle. Is it convenient? Do you really need a car?

  3. What did you do for food? Did you continue with some level of a campus meal plan?

  4. Is the complex socially active?

Thanks, Doug
