Around Town

For fun, you can do intramural sports or go to the Stephenson hall and play basketball, swim, or even workout.

Like I said before, the campus always has different activities going on. From the spring football game, to One Day w/o Shoes, to the Arrive Alive tour. There is always something.

If you aren't into the whole sorority or fraternity thing (which really is so fun), there are so many other things to do for fun on campus. Student Activities are held weekly and we do things such as Movies on Dillion Field or maybe dress up as historical figures for Black History Month. There are also so many sports here at JSU and most of the time there is a game going on which you get into FREE with your Student ID. THere are so many clubs to join too. Anywhere from the Earth and Nature Club to SAC (student activities club) or maybe the BCM (Baptist Student Ministry). Whatever you are interested in we are sure to have something for you here!

Get involved. The main focus other than academics on this campus is the unity through organizations and other events. By being involved you meet people and form friendships that you might not have found otherwise.

Go to a football game, they're great with so much school pride.

The actual town of Jacksonville is very small, so there is not much there to do. But right behind the library is the mountain. Several of my friends and I love to ride up Mountain Street and get on top of the mountain. You can see for miles! It's a great spot to hang out or just relax after an exam. Any sports game is entertaining, too. You have to see our basketball team! My friends and I try to make as many games as we can.

Although there is little in Jacksonville itself other than the clubs and such colleges offer, there are several larger cities within driving distance.

Jacksonville almost always has a sporting event or concert or drama to go to; however, if those things do not interest you the nearest mall is 30 minutes away, but you have two to choose from. Both malls have a Cinema and various shops, the one in Oxford has an arcade separate from the cinema while the one in Gadsden has the arcade in the cinema. There is also a drive-in theater.

There are tons of clubs and organizations to join. There are sororities and fraternities. The Marching Southerners, which is our band, is an amazing organization, they travel every where. The Queen personally invited the Southerners to perform in her parade last year!
