Amazing Experiences A vibrant and dynamic campus, Parkside has something to engage and ignite your passion. Getting involved on campus will help you reach your full potential both in and out of the classroom. There’s so much to choose from!
• 70+ student clubs and organizations • 13 varsity sports—NCAA Division II • Intramural and club sports • 300+ music, theatre, and community events are held in the Rita Tallent Picken Regional Center for Arts and Humanities • 80+ concerts, comedians, tournaments, speakers and many, many more fun activities
Living on Campus Living on campus puts you at the center of university life. It’s being a part of a community from day one. It’s living alongside people who are just like you. It’s living alongside people who are completely different from you. With three distinct housing options—Ranger Hall, University Apartments, Pike River Suites—you’re sure to find the perfect home away from home.
It’s a smart choice—research shows that students who live on campus tend to have a higher GPA, are more involved in college, and are more likely to graduate.
