Favorite Things To Do
It is nearly impossible to be bored at F&M. Students sometimes complain that there is nothing to do on campus, but that is because they aren’t looking hard enough. Whether you want to see a show or concert at Roschel, or shoot some pool at Ben’s Underground, there is always something for everyone. The F&M College Calendar is constantly being updated to provide students with the latest activities around campus, and on any given weekend it is possible to participate in a variety of activities ranging from watching a sports game, hitting a frat party, or hearing an a cappella concert.

The Spring Arts Festival is a huge student favorite. For a weekend in April, dozens of bands are invited to play on the Green and Quad, student artwork is displayed, and cultural events proliferate, as does drinking! You couldn’t do everything if you stayed for eight Spring Arts Weekends. And of course, you can’t ever have too much of a good thing, and people are agitating for a Fall Arts Weekend! This is besides the huge concert each semester. Past bands have included Live, O.A.R., Talib Kweli and Plain White T’s. For more day-to-day excitement, students stir up debates in the weekly College Reporter and bimonthly College Dispatch, or work on the award-winning yearbook, the Oriflamme. Dancers have plenty of scope with the Dance Club, Dance Team, Ballroom Dancing Club, and a number of courses and master classes each semester. Want a radio show? The F&M radio station is award-winning as well and can be heard in many students' rooms, as well as in the dining hall.
