- Wireless Internet is available across much of our campus.
- Our Student Recreation Center is one of the best in the nation and there's a lake, complete with beach, right on campus.
- You can enjoy sailing, hiking, climbing and boating at nearby recreational areas in Giant City State Park, the Shawnee National Forest and the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge.
