Around Town

We're only about 40 minutes from St. Louis which has everything a big city has to offer (shopping, zoo, parks, professional sporting events, concerts, etc.) You've got to be resourceful in Greenville itself but there ARE things to do there.

Since the town is rather small, students who attend Greenville create their own fun. This is what allows the students to become so close to one another. There are also other cities such as St. Louis that one can drive to for fun, but there are also many random campus activities to attend for fun.

Hang out with friends, read the Bible, and play games.

We went to Jo's Java for a coffeehouse with an MTV award winning band. From there we went to a movie at the local theater - free tickets for students. The pizza at Mario's is great, and all of these are walking distance from campus. There is a large fitness center up the road from the main campus, and a smaller one in the gym building. There are over 50 clubs, groups and activities at the college, including a good football team.

It's always fun to hang out in the upper union or in the practice rooms at Whitlock Music Center. Jamming with friends is the best! Also, going to the free movies on Saturdays at the Globe Theater or going thrift shopping is great. It may seem like a small, boring town, but there's a lot hidden if you'll only search for it. Not to mention, the greatest fun is usually just hanging out on campus with friends anyway. If that doesn't do it for you, it's a short drive to Edwardsville or St. Louis for a night on the town.

It's a small town so fun usually means leaving and going to St. Louis. However, the theatre offers a two free movies every Saturday and thrift stores are always great for trying on crazy clothes and snapping photos. Also, playing in the rain is an awesome activity!

Go to school events like sports games and other extra curricular events.

Lots of places to hang out and social events that the college puts on.

When it rains, mud sliding on Scott Field is super fun, as is sitting in huge puddles waiting for cars to splash you while your with your friends!
