Around Town

Plenty to do outside in the fall and spring, but in the winter (which is most of the year) most of the students just party, often resulting in one or more fatalities a year of an intoxicated student freezing while on their way back to their dorm.

New movie theater and bowling alley, great rec. center with rock climbing wall, tennis courts and lap pool (plus way more!), join a coupe clubs in campus and you'll never be bored, ice and normal fishing- anything lake or forest related, and of course going out to eat or shopping around town-downtown and uptown.

Swim, kayak, canoe, fish, ice fish on lake Bemidji. Go to the town's local movie theatre! There's a ton of small shops in Bemidji like a comic book store and a candy shop! There's a zoo, lots of carnivals and festivals during the summer and fall. I love running and biking around the lake; THE BIKE TRAILS NEVER END! If you feel adventurous, you can hike on the Blue Ox trail! I love going to the state park and swimming! Hockey and football games are fun! There's also a really nice gym with a awesome rock climbing club!

Very outdoors-oriented school, lots to do around town, in surrounding rural areas, and right next to campus on Lake Bemidji!

Lots of fun! There is a lake, you can play sports, go fishing, join clubs, go sledding, there is a ski hill nearby, free bowling on Monday nights! The list goes on and on.

Swimming, working out, walking around the lake, bowling, certain clubs have a movie night, there's a theatre and plenty of restaurants near by.

For fun, most students either hunt or fish. Also a large portion of students go play hockey either at the outdoor rink or at the city rink for organized open hockey. There have been a few pick-up football or softball games in the field. Along with those, there are intramurals for either competitive or recreational athletes.

Bemidji is a small town but it still has a lot to offer in ways of entertainment. The bowling ally is nice, downtown shops are popping up everywhere, you will never be lacking in coffee shop options, the art walk changes yearly and is always unique, Glazed and Amused is a great place to feed your creative side, the Rec center offers many workout classes along with tennis courts, racket ball courts, basketball, volley ball and rock climbing. And then, of course, there is the lake. BSU's outdoor program can help you take full advantage of Lake Bemidji with their sailboats, canoes, paddle boats, pontoons and many other water toys they have available to rent.

Sports! Hockey the most. Get out on the lake all year round. The campus offers all the outdoor things. Sailing. canoing, kayaking, you name it. Go hunting! tons of other kids on campus love to hunt. you will instantly make friends. ice fishing is another big thing. you can go to movies. and bowling. since it is a smaller town there are a lot of deals for the college students with your ID.

For fun I go to hockey games or hang out with friends in the dorms. There are also other sporting events you can attend but I haven't yet.
