Me and my parents had thought that I'd stay in a on campus apartment my freshman year but they were all filled up. So we had to look all over college station searching for something else. we looked at tons of options and finally came across the tradition, i totally loved it because it has the feeling of a dorm but so much extra stuff. Like a pool, a tutoring center that can help you with anything, a theater, study rooms and tons of games plus a parking gaurage attached so you can walk to your hall from the gaurage and also a cafeteria with awesome food attached to the building. Oh and I have to mention how close to campus it is, might as well have been on campus. It was a great decision moving here, after i visited the tradition it was clear that this was the best place for me
