My favorite spot on campus is Christ the King Chapel. The combination of the art-work by Fr. Catich and the Holy Water fountain makes it one of most unique and peaceful churches I have ever experienced. Campus can be a crazy busy place, but I can always find peace in the Chapel and I always learn something important from Fr. Thom.
