a strong free atmosphere//a strong atmosphere of freedom

As long as you take a walk on the campus, you'll feel a strong free atmosphere.
... a strong atmosphere of freedom.

Hi,
Do both of the above sound right and mean about the same? Thanks.
  

Top answer

Actually, neither sentence sounds right. The problem is "atmosphere" meaning the air we breathe, and "atmosphere" meaning a surrounding sensation. I would say "feel an intense / strong / exhilarating sensation of freedom"

Thanks, AS.
By the way, is it all right to say "feel an intense sense of freedom?"
