So, I recently stumbled upon this fun fact that some colleges seem to have an unusual amount of interest in squirrels (lol). Is that true? Which ones are known for their squirrel obsession? Not exactly a tiebreaker for my college choices, but makes for a fun conversation!
You're absolutely right, some colleges indeed have a unique affinity for their furry residents. One of the most prominent examples is the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. The campus is famous for its hefty and tame squirrels, and students often give them treats. There's even a student-run Squirrel Club dedicated to feeding and appreciating these creatures.
Another fun example is Cornell University in New York. They've got a reputation for having a large population of distinctive white squirrels and these critters are something of a campus celebrity.
Also, UC Berkeley in California is known for its robust squirrel population and students' fond interactions with them. Additionally, Berkeley has a notable activist history related to squirrel rights and protections.
Finally, Haverford College is so obsessed with squirrels, the black squirrel is the college's mascot!
Who knew squirrel enthusiasm could indeed be a part of college life, it definitely livens things up a bit!
