• The Village Lawn

Situated between the residential apartments, it is a favorite spot, particularly in warm weather, to toss around a baseball, watch a flag football game, or just to sit and relax on a picnic bench before class. It is also the location of the university-sponsored spring fling events, which include free food, amusement rides, and entertainment which recently included the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Vanilla Ice, Black Eyed Peas, and Cypress Hill.
