Being a college student often means spending a lot of time in one place. Trust me, I’m already in my fourth year of doing just that. Some nights, you’ve finished all your homework (and if that’s you, please come talk to me), and you find yourself sitting in your dorm thinking, What do I do now?

Good news: you don’t have to wonder anymore. Here’s a list of some of my favorite things Le Moyne’s campus has to offer when you’re looking for something to do.

Let's Get Started

Join a Club

“Join a club” might sound obvious, but there’s more to it than you think. Le Moyne is home to 100+ clubs and student-run organizations, and at the start of each semester, the campus hosts a club fair where you can explore them all. There truly is something for everyone—whether you’re into video games, student programming, community service, or clubs connected to your major. You can even choose based on your schedule. Some clubs meet weekly or biweekly, while others meet just once a month. No matter your interests or availability, there’s a group waiting for you.

Hang Out and Blow Through Splash Cash in the Den

Most students already know where the Dolphin Den is and what it’s all about, but since it’s one of my favorite places on campus, I felt like I needed to do an appreciation paragraph. The Dolphin Den (or just the Den for short) is another place to eat besides the Cafeteria. You could go on the healthier side with the food (salad, smoothie, or sushi) or you could have the best cheat day ever and have burgers and fried foods. Just outside the Den is Kaffe Nuvo (featuring Starbucks).

Go to LSPB Events

The Le Moyne Student Programming Board (LSPB) is the largest—and most active—student organization on campus. They’re the group behind concerts, trips, illusionists, dance parties, and those legendary bingo nights where you can win gift cards (and even TVs). Their events are fun, low-pressure, and usually come with free swag. Grab some friends, take a few photos, and make the kind of memories you’ll look back on later and say, “Remember when we did that?”

Go to Information Sessions or Academic Events

Throughout the semester, Le Moyne hosts information sessions on everything from studying abroad and travel-based courses to graduate school options. The Office of Career Advising & Development also offers career fairs, résumé drop-ins, and programs like the Manresa Fellowship. Even if you’re a first-year student, go. You never know what opportunity might spark your interest—or help you start thinking about what’s next. One of my biggest regrets is not studying abroad, and I wish I had explored those options sooner.

Take Advantage of the Le Moyne Shuttle

Okay, this one technically isn’t on campus—but it’s run by Le Moyne, so it counts. The Le Moyne shuttle takes students to the Marshall’s plaza on Erie Boulevard and a nearby Walmart, making grocery shopping easy without using your own car or gas. The plaza also has restaurants and shops (including CoreLife Eatery), which is perfect if you’re craving a meal off campus or a little retail therapy.

You Can Cook Your Own Food!

We’ve all been there… Sometimes, we are just super tired of the food in the cafeteria. Well, now that you are back from Walmart, you have a whole array of ingredients at your disposal. If you live in Nelligan, St. Mary’s, or Harrison you will have access to a kitchen! If you do not live in any of these dorms or you live in the Heights or View and do not even want to think about turning on your oven in this heat, you can use your microwave! Le Moyne allows microwaves in all living arrangements and they are a godsend. Have you ever thought about all the delicious full meals you can make in a microwave?

What is it like to be a Dolphin?

Life on campus at Le Moyne is more than just busy—it’s meaningful. From athletics and study abroad to student organizations and internships, our Jesuit values shape every experience.
