As the first of the colleges to be built, Cowell is placed very strategically on the campus to have one of the best views of the Monterey Bay Area. The view from the Cowell Breezeway and courtyard extends to [[Monterey, California|Monterey]] and [[Carmel-by-the-Sea, California|Carmel]] to the south on a clear day. This open patio is home to several College Nights a year, and in 2002, was voted the Best Place to Study on campus by City on a Hill Press.
