Campus Life
Weekends at Hill
There is always something fun happening on the weekends at The Hill! Students attend classes Monday through Friday afternoons. When the weekend comes, students look forward to having fun with friends, pursuing their artistic and athletic interests, or heading off campus to see a movie or grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants in walking distance from campus.
The Community Life Office plans and supervises weekend activities both on and off campus, offering a wide spectrum of opportunities and experiences including shopping, dances, films, coffee houses, athletics competitions, special meals, and community events. Activities are designed to enhance our sense of community on campus while providing enrichment and entertainment for students.
Students and and faculty are encouraged to submit activity ideas and proposals to the Director of Student Activities and to the Student Life Association (SLA) throughout the year – new ideas are always welcome! Weekend activities are open to boarding and day students.
Weekend Activities:
- On-campus events such as food festivals, celebrations of special holidays, dorm competitions, movies on the Quad, open houses in faculty homes to bake cookies or cook meals, DIY and crafting nights, coffee house concerts, dances, and more!
- Off-campus trips to local movie theatres, shopping centers, and restaurants; seasonal activities such as apple picking, Halloween themed attractions, and skiing/tubing; trips to amusement parks, trampoline parks, bowling alleys; and more.
- Day trips to nearby cities - Philadelphia; New York City; and Washington, D.C. - for cultural events, Broadway shows, sporting events, and shopping.
