Every college should have a bucket list of things that you can only do there. SVSU has many unique things to do on campus. Here is my list of the things I believe you absolutely have to do before you graduate!
1. Stroll Through The Sculpture Garden
With all of the beautiful sculptures we have on campus, why not take a few minutes to truly enjoy their beauty as you walk from the center of campus to Health and Human Services or Gilbertson Hall?
2. Wade In The Gazelle Fountain
It's basically the center of campus and an amazing view! Take off your shoes, step in, and relax for a while.
3. Fish In The Ponds
There are several ponds on campus, each one with a beautiful view. Taking a study break to do some catch and release fishing is a must for any SVSU student.
4. Get Scared By The Bell Tower
Our Bell Tower is a great feature of our campus, but find yourself walking past it as it rings, and you'll nearly jump out of your skin every time!
5. Frog Hunt By Founders Hall
Feeling stressed? Go see the beauty of Founders Hall and attempt to catch some slippery frogs from the pond while you're there!
6. Chill Out in The Yien Garden
Whether you go to do yoga, or just sit and think, The Yien garden is a great place to relax.
7. Admire The Beauty From The Fourth Floor Of The Library
Commonly known as the silent floor, it is also a great place to de-stress. Head up there, sit in a chair, look out at our beautiful campus, and count your blessings.
8. Talk To Yourself At The Amphitheater
It's a pretty cool place just to hang out, but did you know that the repressed brick in the center is there for a reason? If you stand on it and face the seats, when you speak, your voice is amplified and echoes back to you.
9. Walk Or Run The Big Loop Around Campus
The three and a half mile trail around campus is a great way to exercise while spending time outdoors.
10. Head Over To The Annual Rings
It may not be in the middle of campus, but the short walk there is worth it. Try taking a picnic or just stopping by to think for a while.
11. Join an RSO or 10
SVSU has tons of registered student organizations, with something for pretty much everyone. If you can't find one you like, all it takes is three people to create your own!
12. Take A Picture At The 'I Love SVSU' Sculpture
It is an adorable sculpture and what better way to show your love for our fantastic university than by posing with this sculpture?
13. Attend Battle Of The Valleys
The energy at the game is incredible, and even when we're losing, the cheers are in full swing. I highly recommend attending both at home, and the other valley.
14. Hammock outside of Wickes Hall
While there are many different places you can hang your hammock on campus, right by the courtyard is a must.
15. Go See A Valley Nights Movie
Free popcorn, free movie that's not out yet? What more can you ask for?
16. Pinterest With Program Board
Make free crafts Tuesday nights in Student Life for free!
17. Party It Up With Coop On His Birthday
Everyone loves Coop the Cardinal! So why not enjoy some cake while celebrating his birthday at the Marketplace?
18. Enjoy Coffee House
Head over to the TSAR every other Monday night and you'll get to enjoy relaxing music along with coffee and donuts! Take a book and study, or go with friends and chat!
