Around Town

The activities for fun depend on you a lot. If you want to, you can find things to do. There a frequent activities, but when there aren't activities, the town has little to offer. In these moments you'll have to invent something, but there's plenty of potential.

This week offers several fun activities despite it being in a small town. There are service projects, hiking trips, and travel studies.

There are many club, sport, and art (preforming art as well) opportunities on campus. There are also a few cool places to hang out in Buena Vista and the neighboring town of Lexington.

There is an event going on almost every weekend and periodically throughout the week. Most everything is put on by the school and they do everything they can to make it fun and worth while.

There is always activities on the weekend for students to become involved in. There are dances every few weeks and plenty of service opportunities. In town, there is a public landing along part of the Maury River. In addition, there is a 3 mile river walk along the river. North of town is the George Washington National Forest. The closest town is Lexington (about 6 miles away). There are many stores and a movie theater in Lexington.

There is always something fun to do around campus. There are movie nights with the newest movies, theatre productions and dances
