Around Town

There are many things to do in Athens for fun. Most people associate it with partying, but if that's not your thing there are others things you can do as well. If that is your thing and your 21 you will really enjoy the bar scene. If you are not 21 there are always parties going on, on campus. Fests are really huge at OU. I highly recommend attending as many your schedule will allow. I promise you will not be disappointed.

You can go exercise or just relax and take in the view. There are several intramural sports and clubs that you can sign up for in your spare time. Really, there is always something to do, you just have to go find it.

If you're into the Greek life, join that. If not, join anything else you can. There are tons of organizations for every sport and hobby, just get out there. Also, there's a great bike path for when its warm, there are plays and concerts in the auditorium which are often free for students, there are cafes and restaurants up town.. there's a decent amount of stuff to do here for Athens being the size it is.

Being Athens if you're 21 or over it's fun to go to the bar (on the weekends) and dance/hang with friends. There is also the Ping Center where you can get a workout in, a golf course, tennis courts, you also have several clubs to chose from. Plenty to do if you have the time.

Sit on the green, watch the symphony perform, play ultimate Frisbee or Frisbee golf, go swimming, go to a party, or even go stargazing. The campus is hopping with activities.

Ohio University is built around campus life and fun. Free events that include food and games are held nearly every weekend and topics range from safe sex to homecoming to water pong tournaments and many in between. Along with these, intramural sports are very big here and concerts are held at least once a month.

If you party, OU is a great place for you. If you don't, OU can still be a great place. There is never NOT something to do here.

There's something for anybody. There are tons and tons of clubs for about any interests someone might have. Intrumural sport leagues are great, I've played a few and had a great time. There are also clubs that range from academic interests, equestrian teams, and knitting clubs. The University sponsors many events as well and the night life has its own reputation!

Go to the bars on Court St.

There are many clubs to join within your major or just if you are interested. We have a recreational center called, Ping and it's a great place to workout or just play. Court street is the main street and it is full of little shops and stores. There are many good restaurants to try out!
