A question a lot of students tend to ask is, “What is there
to do in Maryville?” If you have found yourself wondering about the
entertainment aspects of the Ville you are not alone! I am here to give you
ideas of what you can do when you are not studying.
- Free On-Campus Events-Be
sure to always be checking your Northwest student planner for ideas on
what there is to do on-campus. Many organizations and offices host free
lunches, info sessions, fun activities, etc. Student Activities Council
(SAC) hosts many free events for Northwest students. These include poker
nights, ice cream socials, comedians, and more. Also, all Northwest
athletic events are free to student, so go cheer on our teams! Take
advantage of any and all free events on campus!
- Food Options: Carsons, La
Bonita, Dominos, Sonic, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, My Favorite Muffin,
Applebee’s….this could go on for awhile. Go out to eat with a group of
friends or people from your floor! From fast food to sit-down restaurants,
Maryville has got a little bit of everything!
- The Great Outdoors:
Although it is getting colder, something to keep in mind during warmer
weather is Maryville’s pool and Mozingo lake. Mozingo has a golf course,
camping grounds, and manmade beach.
- Shopping: Shopping in
Maryville may be pretty minimal, but we do have Wal-Mart, Hy-Vee,
Maurices, JC Penney, Hibbett Sports, and Payless. My friends and I will
sometimes have Wal-Mart outings together to stock up on groceries and
Northwest apparel.
- Fitness-In addition to the
fitness facility on campus, Maryville also has a Community Center and Get
Fit 24 (where you can see personal trainer Brenda!) where you can work on
your fitness. Many centers have an assortment of machines and weights to
meet all of your exercise needs.
There are just a few ideas of things to do in Maryville.
With all of the free events hosted on campus, food options, outdoor areas, gyms
and stores there is no reason you cannot find all you need in the Ville! If you
feel you have too much down time, be sure to go out and explore all the things
the Ville has to offer! Also be sure to get involved on campus to make the most
of your college years!
