Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The student recreation center is expanding. The University is constantly buying nearby land in an attempt to solve the housing problem. There are numerous facilities already available, including basketball courts, weight rooms, and swimming pools, where students can enjoy numerous recreational activities. There are also racquetball and handball courts spread throughout campus. These gyms also offer classes such as yoga, Pilates, and aerobics. Best of all, they are never crowded.

Thankfully, some dorms on campus have a game room or a fitness center, for which there is no charge. Ladies and gentlemen, on the less traditional side, there is a nail and unisex salon on campus. If you’re against using the washers and dryers at the dorms based on the cost, you can always become friends with an upperclassman student and do your laundry at his or her house.

Favorite Things To Do

The Bell Tower is the center of campus, and throughout the year, it is the site of events such as Spring Fling and Fall Fest, which create both networking and social opportunities. In addition to that, on campus, you can do everything from go to the movies at the Reel to attend an open mic night in the Underground.

You can catch a play on campus at Tomlinson Theater, see a movie at Tuttleman for a dollar, play pool or video games at the game room, catch your favorite daytime talk show or soap opera in the TV rooms, hit the gym for a quick workout, or attend an event or lecture hosted by different student organizations.
