There Are So Many Fun Things To Do on Campus

By Kamryn Keith

Many students commonly sit in the dorm at night after classes end. Yet, there are so many things on and around campus to do and try out. The Boswell Campus Center (BCC) has various fun games and activities for students. Recent renovations have equipped the campus center’s mid-level with pool, ping pong tables, and air hockey. This area is great for gathering with friends and hanging out between classes or the evening before another event.

Another fantastic place on campus is the hammock area at Patriot Park. The location is excellent for kicking back and enjoying the fresh air near the tennis courts. Hammocks are inexpensive and an excellent investment for those who love to spend their time outside. Patriot Park offers many other things to do besides the hammocking. The park provides a large field to play games on, a row of swings, a space to eat lunch or study, and a sand volleyball court. Several students enjoy working out at the fitness court behind the swings. This fitness area has many workouts, allowing students to enjoy the warm weather.

The community has several fun activities and places to visit, allowing students to get away from campus for a few hours. Williamsburg has several restaurants down-town, such as The Brick Oven, The Game Café, and The Coffee Spot on Main. All these restaurants are within walking distance from campus. Each restaurant offers a unique atmosphere and culture for everyone who visits. Exploring the downtown area may seem daunting, but it can make for an exciting afternoon.

Cumberland Falls is a great place, a little further away from campus. The beautiful destination is deep within the Daniel Boone National Forest in Corbin, Kentucky. This magnificent waterfall offers an array of free activities for students to get involved in. When visiting Cumberland Falls, you can make a campfire, learn about the local ecosystem and history, and hike several trails. Visiting the Falls later in the evening makes for a great experience because there is a chance that a Moonbow will appear. This exciting event occurs in only two places worldwide, making Cumberland Falls one of the most notable waterfalls.

However, students choose to spend their free time, it is essential to remember that taking breaks from studying is important. Whether playing pickleball at Patriot Park or getting lunch at The Brick Oven with friends, remember to relax and rejuvenate before returning to studying:
