The Quad is located at the heart of campus, creating a crossroads between the different sections. It is very dear to students, alumni, faculty, and staff and often acts as a meeting place.
With more than 50 registered student clubs and organizations at SU, there is something for everyone. From volunteering in the community to developing a new skill, the University offers special interest groups within each college and throughout the entire university.
The campus is also home to three athletic facilities including Archbold and Flanagan Gymnasiums, and the Women’s Building. These facilities house a variety of athletic equipment, two full-length swimming pools, aerobic classes, and dance studios. The facilities also holds late night classes between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. where students can learn new dance styles, yoga, Tai Chi, and juggling.

With multiple nationally ranked Division 1 sports teams, SU has strong school spirit for their teams. The Carrier Dome is conveniently located directly on SU’s campus and is the home to men’s and women’s basketball, football, and lacrosse. Student tickets are offered for a lower price to each game.
Every SU student knows Marshall Street – it’s located directly beside campus and is the location for grabbing a bite to eat between classes. Marshall Street boasts 26 take-out and dine-in restaurants, and after eating, it’s the perfect place to buy SU apparel at one of the 15 different shops and boutiques. Starbucks and the Marshall Street Mall, which includes Follett’s Bookstore and even more dining options, are also located on Marshall Street.
“Marshall Street has everything a college student could possible need, from social events to the Post Office, and you’ll always run into someone you know.” – Steve Lamenstorf ’08
