Around Town

Here your not far from the cities or Peoria so its not far to take a day and go out with friends.

There are ping pong tables in the Hawk's Nest that are usually open with paddles and balls as well. If you don't want to think of your own activities to do you can always join one of the many clubs in the college.

We play trading card games and on a rare occasion video games in the hawks nest.

Game room!!! If your bored and have nothing to do there is a game room. you can play pool and there is a nice flat screen TV and comfy couch big enough for friends.

There are many clubs that students can join at Black Hawk College such as the Wellness Club, Child Development Club, Presidential Scholars Club, etc.

The Student Committee at BHC is always throwing special events--it seems like every tiny holiday they throw an event with free food and music. The Student Center is also undergoing a very extensive renovation, and I think it'll be really cool when it's done.

For some reason, Black Hawk actually has pretty good sports teams for being a small community college. Their baseball team won their state title for their division this year; the golf team finished 2nd in their conference i believe this year; and their softball team declined a bit but still finished over .500. The sporting events are fun to attend with friends from classes, especially the basketball and volleyball games. During the year they also have festivities and celebrations to attend during the year, but try not to skip classes to attend them, as they seem to plan them all during peak class times. Bottom line is there are things to do, but you have to be social, otherwise it turns into a school where you go to class and just go home!

There are sports teams at the school as well as recreational or community classes. There are also multiple honors societies and clubs.

Black Hawk College strives to provide students with ample opportunities to relax and meet new people through numerous clubs, organizations and events. A typical day for a Black Hawk College student, for example, might include relaxing in the cafeteria with friends and a freshly prepared meal in celebration of Cinco de Mayo before heading to the auditorium to listen to speeches prepared by the International Student Association.

Either play sports or join a Club.
