The University was included on The Huffington Post’s list of The Colleges Most Obsessed with Squirrels.
The story features the infamous black squirrels that frequent the campus, recounting the campus myth that theywere the result of a biology experiment at the University. According to the myth, the squirrels either escaped or were liberated by an animal rights group.

Other squirrel-obsessed schools include Harvard, Yale, Lehigh and Oberlin.
