Around Town

We have A LOT of fun here at Denison. Even though the administration and security tries to limit it often. We party every weekend and often on mondays and wednesdays too. Drinking is a really big part of a social life here at Denison so it would probably be difficult if you didn't drink, but that being said, I do know a couple of people who choose not to drink at all. I don't know how they do it though.

Denison is about 25 minutes east of Columbus so we often take trips there to have a good time. You do not necessarily need to leave campus to have a good time. It is required for our student to live on campus all four years, so you always are around friends and Denison always has planned activities to get involve in.

Sports, clubs, theater, swimming, walks around campus, and friends.

You can join a sports team, hang out with friends, party, watch movies, go off campus to shop. Thereâ??s endless opportunities to amuse yourself. There is always an event on campus.

There is always something going on on campus and there are many groups and organizations to join to get involved. If there isn't already a group you're interested in, you can start one yourself.

There are usually concerts and plays going on, and you can always get involved in movie nights (whether they're in your dorm or Slayter or the campus commons), and there are plenty of clubs and activities to get involved with.

Don't depend on any sort of local scene for fun. The main advantage of Denison is that the school resources are always being put to use, including concerts, comedians, and events in the Student Union. Due to restrictions put into effect by administration, and the absence of Greek housing, parties are normally held in cramped dorm rooms. This past year has led to increased rules, including a Party Registration System, so if this is your goal in coming to college, I would suggest another school.

Anything and everything. Possibly the only downside (if you can look at it this way) is that you can't do everything. There are opportunities here that you can't find on other campuses. The administration and students alike make sure that there is always something to take part in, no matter what your interests.

For fun, take a bike ride around Granville (Denison has bikes that we may use for free!) it's so beautiful. We also just had our gym and pool remodeled and rebuilt and the pool is open to all students. It is beautiful. Like at most colleges there are parties, but Denison also has comedians, concerts, movies, guest speakers, and much more going on. There is always something to do.

Despite Denison being a small school in a rural town there is plenty to do. Aside from the campus parties, there are comedians, concerts, movie nights, plays and dances.
