Student Life
 Students
can find a variety of things to do on campus and off campus. The
various clubs and activities Garrett offers allow students to
meet new people and participate in activities to suit their
interests such as Intercollegiate sports, drama, and intramurals. At
Garrett, our clubs and activities are developed to complement
the college's academic programs and services by providing
opportunities that further enhance the student's overall
development. Check out the calendar to find out what's
coming up. Check

Garrett College services.
Many
of our academic
programs and curriculum provide opportunities
that expand the academic experience beyond the classroom:
field trips, social events, and co-curricular activities.
Whether
you live in on
campus or
off campus, whether you are a traditional student or nontraditional
student, you will want to be part of student life. One
of the easiest ways to get involved and to meet new people
is to attend the Spring Fling held in May every year or
attend a baseball game or a scheduled co-curricular activity. There
is something for everyone at Garrett College. We
know that making lasting friendships and good memories
are an important part of the college experience.
 The outdoors is a great educator. Garrett's natural setting serves as
a classroom for many of our programs and is also used by
our faculty for formal instruction. Our programs in Natural Resources and Wildlife
Technology and Adventure Sports,
are concentrated in outdoor curriculum. Our mountains,
farmlands, streams, and Deep Creek Lake make learning exciting
and fun. You don't have to major in one of these programs
to take advantage of great outdoor classes like Wilderness
Survival Skills, Ice Climbing, and Introduction to Rafting
and River Guiding. We also offer noncredit courses
in a number of outdoor/recreational areas.
There
is also an endless variety of off-campus
experiences from which to choose: State parks
and reserves, boating on the lake, hiking and biking on
Garrett County's miles of trails, and, of course, skiing
and golfing at the Wisp
Resort. Just a couple miles
away you'll find movie theaters, go-cart tracks, and several
great restaurants. |
