Around Town

Hiking, shopping, down-town dining, exploring Oneonta, visiting Pine Lake, cough parties cough every weekend cough(; clubs, volunteering, intramural and collegiate level sports teams, the opportunities for fun are endless.

Oneonta is a small town, but if you look around, there are things to do. Hartwick itself had about 60 Clubs and Organizations. There are concerts, sports events, and other numerous activities.

Of course people go to parties and bars. However, HCAB (campus activities board) does a good job of having plays, comedians, and movies available to students who chose not to partake in the part scene. There are always sporting events going on which are always fun to attend and support the school.

There are plenty of things to do such as go to Pine Lake, walk around in town, go on one of the trips they offer, attend a sports game, or go to an on-campus activity.

The parties are pretty nice. A lot of drinking. Also Oneonta is nicknamed StonyOneonta.

The town has a lot to offer. They have a lot of restaurants, thrift stores, hookah bar and a lounge. They also have something called the OPT (oneonta public transport) and it's free for Hartwick students.

The city of Oneonta is very small. The transit system only runs Monday through Saturday and starts running at 6:00. This makes it hard if you do not own a car to get to town. There are various activities on campus that are fun to do. On top of that, in the student lounge, there is an air hockey table and pool table free for any of the students to use. Since the college is so small, I've never run into a problem with the student lounge being to crowded. There are many places on campus in which a group of students can go to relax by themselves.

The first week at campus (welcome weekend for freshamn and transfers) Hartwick puts togother a series of events to help students and families ease into the moving and college process. Oneonta is a very small town, but has a lot of history. There are alot of bars for adult students. The greek life and sports teams parties are very fun. If you prefer to stay on campus you can participate in the many clubs Hartwick has to offer.

Movies, concerts, sports events, street fairs, programs, and many more are all offered at Hartwick with no or minimal charge to current students. Outside campus, the cinemas are only a 5-10 minute drive, and the college provides free busing to and from town. Eateries and creamies are abundant, as well as the common fast foods and dunkin doughnuts/starbucks.

Hartwick, has a campus activities board that plans activities every week. there is never not something to do, whether it be volunteering, sporting event or activities board event.
