Akron is in the city and almost everything is nearby. The college offers a ton of club and intramural sports and has a great recreational facility. The campus also has many organizations that students can get involved in ranging from sororities/frats to organizations with in one's program.

The student union has a game room and a theater with free movies if you're looking to stay on campus. Downtown Akron is close, and there are plenty of clubs and bars, as well as seasonal events. The rec center has free classes, and it's fun to go with friends.

There is a brand new stadium on the heart of the campus, plenty of sporting events that take place on campus, there is greek life, a club or organization for just about anything you can think of, great dining experiences and clubbing just down the road, and E.J.

Many of the varsity sports games are free, intramural sports can be joined, and there are random events scattered throughout each semester.

The student union has bowling alleys, many pool tables, a free movie theater open to all students and game rooms! There is also a student recreation center with tons of workout equipment and one of the largest rock walls on a college campus in America! The campus has a lot of greenery to explore and relax on!

Recreational sports.

There are tons of campus activities! The Gorge is a beautiful state park located only 5 minutes from campus! There is the bike towpath that you can take up to Cleveland.

Since I am not on campus a lot, I do not know all of the extra activities that the school provides, but I do know we have great options. There is a bowling alley and a billiards room in the Student Union, along with a movie theater! The school is also very close to all the major events that occur downtown. We also have our own recreation center with a pool and all the workout equipment you could ever need.

Go to the Rec Center and swim. Also, take a self-defense class with Kevin Stutler.
