Around Town

There is a lake near by for swimming in the fall, sporting events nightly, comedy shows on weekends, open gym and recreation, the student union building aka the TUB is available for playing pool, ping pong ball, and video games also to host movie nights, and much more. Along with the resident hall game rooms.

Tons of trails to walk on

Campus is full of clubs and athletics, I would highly recommend going to men's basketball games. Or you could even go talk to the monks.

There are several intramural sports and collegiate sports to either join or go and watch. The gym on campus is nice and free if you are a student. There are also several events throughout the week put on by different clubs and organizations on campus, so there is also something to do if you are looking

Saint Martin's University is a dry campus committed to giving students a variety of healthy social activities to partake during the college experience. For the adventure seeking students, Saint's Adventures hosts a wide variety of activities including indoor rock-climbing at the Warehouse gym in downtown Olympia, monthly trips to Whitepass Ski Resort, discounted tickets and free transportation to Seattle Sounders Soccer games, and an annual trip to Mount Hood Meadows Ski resort. For students looking to display their creativity and talent, there is an annual talent show, monthly open-mic nights, and craft nights. For students looking to show off their school spirit, there are many sporting events that students can attend including women's volleyball games, men's and women's soccer games, or even men's and women's basketball games.

The school frequently organizes fun trips to Portland or to sports games for very cheap. Also, the student union building has video games, movies to borrow, pool and ping pong tables, and frequent informal dances and other events, such as the ever-popular Bingo Night. There are always events to go to with tons of prizes. Also, reduced price movie tickets are sold weekly and other places, like the mall, blacklight mini golf, etc are within walking distance.

There are plenty of things around in the area to do for fun. Most of them involve driving somewhere, so it's more convenient to have a car. However, even without a car the usual things are available. Movies, shopping malls, and a variety of food options. If you don't have a car campus life does organize ski trips, movies at a discounted price, and soccer and pro football games frequently. Also, most basketball games that are away but still local (like Seattle) will have buses attending and usually for only a couple dollars. Of course you must wear teams colors to attend! :)

There are an amazing gym in the campus and many activities that the school has during the school year.

We have a CampusLife group and PROs group which host pretty fun events. Like dances, comedy nights, bingo nights and more. The whole is spirited so when there comes the time of our home games everybody joins together!!

Olympia is a fun city, but does get old after a while. Downtown has a lot of events.
