Around Town

Be creative. To be frank, Houghton doesn't have all of the options that many larger schools do. The town is small, and even shopping possibilities are limited. However, this situation's major upside means that friendships are easy to build fast and strong. Another positive point for Houghton: students can access the library's extensive DVD collection for free.

Sports, many clubs one of them being my favorite Nerf Club, hunting, singing, prayer, and so much more!

There are plenty of campus activities going on throughout the week. Many different clubs, intramural sports, and groups to get involved in.

Host a small home group for some students from the campus.

You really make your own fun. There's a nerf club, and a group plays murder in the dark every week in Paine... Letchworth state park is nearby...

I like to go for walks on the many quiet trails or work out at the gym. There are also a lot of campus-wide activities to participate in.

Did you know that the Houghton College website has a list of 101 Things to Do posted under the Current Students link?

Mattress jumping during loud hour of finals week is great! Join a club Go to games JAVA!!!

There is rather really nothing around, but there is a Subway and a China Star. There is also a beautiful park, as well as small towns with some stores.
