Describe the dorm life at your college.
Living in the dorms at Daemen was one of the best experiences I had. Dorm life led me to some of my best friends and experiences at school. While living in the dorms is great for meeting people, and learning how to live with others it was also great for academics. Those living in the dorms were respectful and understanding of those who needed to study, and who needed the extra sleep for early classes. The lounges in Canavan make a great place to have study sessions, and they were used for that almost every day. Living in the dorms at Daemen is good for making friends and keeping those grades up!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Being a vegetarian I was extremely worried about what I would eat while living on campus. Luckily, that wasn't a problem. The dining hall has dietary options that are friendly for everyone. Dining options include a salad bar, wrap bar, a grill, a pizza station, the Veg-E-Table, where students can make their own creation with rice, vegetables, and seasoning, and the line which offers something new each day.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The college provides a plethora of activities throughout the school year to keep students involved, but there are also many clubs and sports to take up any free time. If you can't find fun in any clubs or sports teams, the back lawn is great for hanging out with a group of friends. With a volleyball court, fire pit, picnic tables, and a grassy area, anyone can find fun in the lawn! There are also ping pong tables in the Wick Campus Center, which always provide an enjoyable time! Finding what to do in your free time at Daemen will not be a problem with all these options.
