Let’s face it. College students are poor as fuck. On top of buying textbooks you don’t read and paying for dining hall food you don’t want to eat, there’s no money left over to use for fun.

The Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) and Campus Recreation Center East (CRCE) are free gyms for students. With just one swipe of your student ID, you have access to indoor tracks, climbing walls, swimming pools and more.
