If you're looking  for something more physical, don't forget the student recreation center near Gemmell Student Complex for exercise equipment, an indoor track, basketball courts and a rock climbing wall. Intramurals, club sports and outdoor recreation also are based at the rec center.

If you don't play sports, become Clarion University's biggest fan by rooting for your favorite Clarion athletic teams.

The university also is invested in the overall wellness of its students with health services, counseling services and other health activities in Becht Hall.

When you're ready to wind down, rest at one of our many living options including Suites on Main, Hilltop Suites and Reinhard Villages. Combined with Eagle Commons dining center, Gemmell Food Court, Carlson Library Café, Starbucks and university coffee shops, students enjoy life here.

Outside of your campus pursuits, the town of Clarion boasts a vibrant downtown with many interesting shops and eateries. All of this is set against the scenic backdrop of the Clarion River and nearby Cook Forest.
