With the beach just a short drive from campus, you could go for a beach walk with your neighbors before heading to happy hour on the patio. Is there something you’ve always wanted to try like yoga? Now you can. You could start your day with an origami class and then join the book club in the library. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to learn Spanish. We have a class for that, too. If you have a passion for gardening, you can plant in the garden here or start your own garden on your private patio or balcony. Devotional services, movie matinees and live music performances—you have plenty of activities to choose from.
