Around Town

Lots of parties and social gatherings. There's a movie theater, bowling alley, bars if you are of age, and not really more than that. Joplin, MO is half an hour away, however, and Kansas City and Springfield, MO are about 2 hours away, which can make for a fun road trip.

PARTY! There are also quite a few clubs and organizations to meet people and make friends.

The rec center is an awesome idea if you enjoy fitness. You can spend time in the oval doing various activities. Or if you are in to the night life you can hang out at The Jungle across from campus.

There's always something going on.

Plenty of social activities. Greek life is huge here

clubs, sports, and parties

There are the usual things like bowling, movies, skating, bars, etc. there is also a small mall in Pittsburg and a much larger one 30 minutes away in Joplin.

The recreational center is a fun place to go to. It has 3 basketball courts, ping pong table, two floors for fitness activities and it has a lounge. The school has alot of movie nights which are fun to go to with friends. The football games are the best to go to because the crowd is electric and the tailgating is phenomenal.

Hang out in the U club

I love to just hang out and watch movies. There are several restaurants that have 1/2 place appetizers. There is bowling, paint balling, you name it they have it. The campus has several activities throughout the year to keep students busy and have fun and meet others.
