1. It's brought me to meet some amazing people
It's easy to say that Bowling Green has led me to some great friends. It's hard to believe that I've went most of my life not knowing the people who now feel like family.
2. There's so many organizations to choose from
Whether you're in a fraternity or sorority, write for the school's newspaper or Odyssey, work with Feed My Starving Children, are a tour guide, or participate in the numerous other organizations that BG has to offer, everyone can find their place on this campus.
3. There's a Starbucks in the middle of campus
This may hurt your Falcon Dollars, but it's worth it. That caramel macchiato can be a life saver during your dreadful 8am's.
4. The greek village is like an actual village
The new greek village is a scenic part of campus. On warm days, there's always people outside playing football, blasting music, and grilling food.
5. Downtown on the weekends
The night life downtown is something to look forward to during the long weekdays. Whether you're dancing at Uptown or Shots Inc, having a chill night at 149, or just people watching, you're bound to have an interesting night in BG.
6. The Mac and Cheese bar obviously!
Mac and Cheese bar days at the Oaks is always something to look forward to. The line to get in will be all the way out the door and the upperclassman will be begging you to swipe them in, but the five plates that you consume will make it all worth it.
7. There's always something going on in the union oval
Whether there's fraternity men getting pied, CHAARG girls working out, or students doing homework in their Eno hammocks, there's always something going on at the oval.
8. The fact we're getting a Steak n Shake
In the fall of 2017, Steak n Shake is coming to The Falcons Nest in place of Steak Escape. It's a safe bet that this will make everyone's Falcon Dollars plummet but the food will be good!
9. The people I live with are always there for me
Whether I have a good or bad day, I can always count on the people who live on my floor. There's always at least 10 to fifteen people in the lounge who are there to go grab food, watch tv, or just to talk.
10. Dairy Queen is within walking distance
This is essential on the weekends and the warm spring days.
11. The rec is always popping
The recreational center is free to all the students and there's always a million people there. Whether you're lifting, running, playing basketball, swimming, or even climbing the rock wall, you can always stay active at the rec.
12. Panera AND Insomnia deliver here
These places don't deliver in many places but they do in Bowling Green. This can be a blessing and a curse for your bank account.
13. We have our own NFL player
Roger Lewis, the New York Giant's wide receiver, recently came back to BGSU to finish some classes.
14. The squirrels are always friendly
Everyone knows that BG has a thing for their squirrels. They really will walk right up to you and take food.
15. It's a perfect home away from home
Bowling Green has turned into one of my favorite places. The people I've met and the endless opportunities it has provided me with has showed me that this is my dream school.
