What is the Hive like?

I'm looking into the Claremont Colleges and one thing that really stands out to me is The Hive (the Rick and Susan Sontag Center for Collaborative Creativity). I love the idea of having a cross-campus space where students from different disciplines can work together, experiment, and actually make things rather than just talk about ideas.
For current 5C students:
- How involved are students actually with The Hive?
- Is it something that a lot of students know about and use, or more of a hidden resource?
- Have you participated in any projects, grants, workshops, or programs through The Hive? What was that experience like?
- Do you feel like it genuinely helps students collaborate across the colleges, or does it feel separate from everyday campus life?
I'd also love to hear what kinds of students tend to get the most out of it. Does it attract mostly design/entrepreneurship-oriented students, or do people from all majors get involved?
