THE WATERFRONT

The Greens also hosts “The Pillow,” an area where you can sit, relax and sword fight fellow students. Finally, the Greens also contains the Admission Fields where public events like orientations are held.
THE LIBRARY

You can work and play in our library. Check out a book, browse a periodical and enjoy the social spaces and group study rooms it offers.
SOLOMON'S KITCHEN

Want a late-night snack? Go to The Pub, located in Lewis Quad, and grab some cheese nachos or a black bean burger while you watch the game or catch up with friends in the evenings.
FIRE PITS, OUTDOOR FIREPLACES & GRILLS

Feel like a cook-out? The Waring Commons fire pit and grill, the Lewis Quad patio fireplace, the South Crescents outdoor fireplace and the outdoor grills located near residence halls are great places to kick back with some hotdogs and s’mores and enjoy the company of good friends on those cool autumn evenings.
