What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Kelsey

There are always activities going on. There are signs all over campus and they occur during differnt times on different days so it's not hard to find something to do regardless of your schedule.

Westminster College has tons of student run clubs and organizations and many of them do trips to really cool places. For instance, my Geology Club just went to camp out in Moab and hike up some gorgeous country while looking at fossils of dinosaur tracks. I'm also in the West Coast Swing Club, which is a great place to learn how to dance or come for open dancing and hang out with some great people. There is plenty of room to grow clubs, and students can start their own. The West Coast Swing Club was just started the Spring 2011 semester and is quickly growing to be very popular.

When I lived on campus, I never locked my door. Ever. If I were in my room, my door would be wide open. There is always something happening on campus, and local restaurants and bars are close by for those who want to venture into Salt Lake City. The theater program has a reputation for thoughtful, entertaining, risky performances. The new music program has begun to take off.

The Westminster College Ski & Snowboard Club is a great club to join, especially since you get a discounted seasons pass to some of the best resorts in the country! I lived in the dorms freshman year and it was definitely my favorite part of my college experience. Many of my closest friends from college I met in the dorms freshman year. Everyone in my dorm left their doors open, and would hang out in the common areas. There is always something to do even if you live on campus, and are without a car. Since Westminster is right in the middle of Sugar House it is easy to leave campus to go shopping, out to eat, or just to go hang out in Sugar House Park. On the weekends there is usually some get together going on at someone's house off campus, or a game on campus.

I have had a pretty lousy experience living in the dorms. I only have one friend in my whole building. I'm a pretty social person, but it seems like most of the other freshmen in my building are not. It has been very hard for me to get a sufficient social life here, and I always look forward to the weekend so I can get off campus and visit my girlfriend. There's plenty to do in Salt Lake, but only if you've got friends.

Cameron

Not too many athletic events but Wild Wednesday activities are fun and free.

There is always something going on and lots of opportunities to volunteer with different organizations. Westminster is always giving back to the community and inviting a variety of guest speakers on campus every year. We have traditions each year like the midnight breakfast during finals, outdoor rec programs and much more! People can definately party if they want to and there's always something going on in the dorms and at the student center.

Westmini has the only wet campus in Utah. This means that compared to the rest of the local environment we can seem like we party hard. This is true in some degree, but I don't think we party harder than most colleges. I think it just seems that way because of the state's conservative atmosphere.
