Ask the Mascot provides information regarding dining, health, lodging, recreation, nightlife, transit, events, services, campus, and shopping. Our hope is to provide students with a resourceful tool that bridges the gap between the local community, and the college community. Ask the Mascot encourages college communities to branch out and have a larger impact on small, local business, by exploring new restaurants, shops, and more, while helping to prevent exploitation and repetitiveness by offering a variety of options to meet college students’ and visitors’ needs.
