For starters, 鈥渢here are always things happening in the student center if you want an organized activity,鈥 some of which include cake decorating contests, karaoke, and paint nights. It鈥檚 also common for undergrads to participate in the 鈥済roup exercise classes offered multiple times a day.鈥 Outside of structured options, many students enjoy going to the gym or even just 鈥渄own to the turf [to get] a couple miles in.鈥 Speaking to the quality of on-campus dorms, one student notes that many 鈥渟pend their time doing the exact same thing: enjoying free time with friends in their suites, just relaxing after a long day of classes.鈥 Finally, when the weekend rolls around, 鈥渟tudents throw parties [on] campus or they go out with friends or take trips to Boston.鈥
