Many describe it as the perfect size: not too big and not too small. Attend classes in one of our modern lecture halls or innovative labs, or hit the books at Livingston Lord Library or beneath a leafy oak tree on the campus mall. When you're not studying, you can choose from a vast array of social, cultural and athletic activities. More than 120-plus student clubs and organizations offer endless opportunities to learn, share, get involved and meet new people. Comstock Memorial Union is the epicenter of campus activity and the perfect place to meet friends, relax between classes or grab lunch on the go. The state-of-the-art Russell and Ann Gerdin Wellness Center is an eye-catching campus landmark dedicated to improved health and wellness with a three-story rock climbing wall, state-of-the-art exercise machines and a variety of stimulating group classes. On weekends, join your fellow students and alumni in cheering for the athletic teams at Alex Nemzek Stadium or attend one of the outstanding musical or theatrical performances at the Roland Dille Center for the Arts.
