Free time invites students to make friends, try new things, exercise, relax, explore and have fun. Our staff of resident advisors ensures that students have well-planned afternoon and evening activities which offer staff and students a chance to get to know each other outside of the classroom.

Whether its ultimate frisbee on the quad, game tournaments, open mic night, or our end of session dance and talent show, the RAs are always organizing plenty of entertaining options. After a day of stretching their minds, students look forward to going outside, being active and enjoying social activities with friends. In addition to sports and games in the afternoon, we offer relaxed entertainment in the evenings.

The combination of residential living, exciting coursework, and campus activities and events give students a taste of college life. This experience gives students a chance to learn about themselves as much as they learn about others. It is an exciting, rewarding experience that they carry with them into college and beyond.
