ATHLETICS COMPLEX
If you’re a student-athlete, play intramural sports, or enjoy tennis or running, you’ll want to check out the Athletic Complex. It has two soccer fields, two softball fields, six tennis courts, and an eight-lane track surrounding a turf field with throwing areas.
THE CASINO
You won’t find any gambling here, but there’s plenty of entertainment! Play court tennis, go bowling, or take a swim in the 45-foot indoor marble pool. The Lion’s Den lounge also has comfy seats, table tennis, pool, and large screen TVs.
THE MANSION
With its impressive Georgian architecture and Gilded Age décor, the Mansion is a must-see for any student. You might find yourself in the Great Hall for celebrations, special events, or ceremonies held by our student clubs and organizations.
ANNUAL WELLNESS EXPO
The Department of Integrative Health and Exercise Science holds the Annual Wellness Expo to help students, faculty, and staff unwind. Try acupuncture, yoga, meditation, and other kinds of wellness workshops at this free, all-day event.
LAKEWOOD, NEW JERSEY
Take your adventures off campus. We’re close to the sea, so you can soak up the sun along the Jersey Shore. Explore Lakewood’s historic downtown and catch a movie or concert at the Strand Theater. Or plan a night of good food and fun with local restaurants, parks, baseball and more.
PHILLY AND NEW YORK
Up for a road trip? Philadelphia and New York make the perfect destinations for a weekend getaway in the big city. Take a break from studying to go to concerts, sports events, museums, parks, and the hottest new restaurants.
