Facilities on SHU Campus

Atheletic Center - The Richie Regan Recreation and Athletic Center is a satisfactory gym for the average joe trying to stay fit. There are plenty of weights, a yoga/stretch room with mats and other equipement, a room with weights, two basketball courts, a track, a swimming pool, and plenty of machines. I have always had a treadmill available for my workout. There are also two tennis courts outside and a baseball-soccer field.

Student Center - The University Center is always active with activities by clubs or performances by local musicians in the COVE. The COVE has a cafe look while serving a descent range of beverages, hot food, desserts, and prepped food. There are plenty of booths and chairs to find a seat usually. The Student Center also has a student lounge with plenty of sofas, foosball tables, and TVs to watch your favorite sports games. There are also offices of well-known services that support students, such as the Student Government Association, Commuter Council, and Student Support Services.

Library - The library has three floors and has more than enough chairs, desks, private study rooms, and large individual desk-chair sets. In addition the library also has beanie bag chairs and a silent room. There are always plenty of computers available for use, and there are printers, scanners, and copy machines. One student is allowed to use 400 pages of paper for the copy machine per year.

Campus Activities - There are over 100 student organizations on campus - from Amnesty International to Fraternities and from Chinese Club to a Silent Praise Dance Team. There's plenty of diversity and the activities show it. As far as parties and night life goes, it's considered a "dry campus" because most of the local students tend to go home over the weekends. The campus is also small and Catholic so that probably plays a factor into the night life.

Campus Aesthetics - The campus is very pretty with lots of trees and bushes to compliment it during the warm months. Local residents and alumni have often wed in the chapel because of its idyllic setting.
