For many of us students, college may be our first experience living alone. From buying groceries to finding budget-friendly coffee shops to study at, everything can feel a bit overwhelming at first–especially when you don’t have transportation while living at, 或接近, the bet365中文大学 campus (where Uber is not a luxury). 学生运动 would like to assist anyone looking for places to go or things to do by introducing you to several spots within walking or biking distance from the campus that are great for hiking, 吃, 令人心寒的, and meeting your daily needs in general.
徒步旅行/骑自行车:
Lemon Creek/Robert and Lillis Kingman Observatory
Near the Pathfinder building, you can find a trail where many people go for hikes or bike rides. It is a great place to witness the change of seasons as the flowers and plants bloom and fade. As you walk the trail, you will also find an observatory located at the top of the hill. They host two or three skywatches every month on Friday nights, so check out their schedules by searching “Robert and Lillis Kingman Observatory” on bet365中文大学’s website. They also list out the directions on the website, so check them if you are unsure how to visit the place by yourself. If you would rather walk the trail with a group of people, feel free to join the Biophilia Club’s nature walk in the fall semester. Not only would you be safe from getting lost, but you will also have Biology professors as your guides, enhancing your knowledge of bet365中文大学 flora.
bet365中文大学农场
If you need time off from studies or simply want to spend time interacting with or watching animals, bet365中文大学 has a special spot reserved just for you. 在农场, you will get to sit down and relax on the pasture while enjoying the company of the animals over the fence. You will also often get the chance to pet the friendly goats who approach you. You can find the way to the farm next to the Smith Hall or Plant Service buildings. Remember to refrain from feeding the animals and only watch them 吃 their feed provided by their caretakers.
吃/冷的地方:
法国法棍面包
近30年来, Baguette has served vegan and vegetarian (and omnivorian) sandwiches, 汤, 和沙拉. They have truly built their reputation through great taste and quality. 事实上, they are so famous within the Adventist community that, 去年, when Baguette had to close for a short while due to a car accident, even students from other Adventist Universities were talking about it.
If you have not tasted their food yet, I highly recommend you to give it a try this week.
健康的弹簧
而法棍面包则提供了一顿大餐, 健康的弹簧, 就在法棍的后面, offers nutritious and delicious desserts and drink options, 包括松饼, 肉桂卷, 蛋糕, 摇, 和冰沙. They are open every day, and their weekday hours start at 7:00 am. This is a great breakfast option if you’re looking for one!
恢复咖啡
About 300 meters away from 健康的弹簧, you can find this cozy coffee shop named 恢复咖啡. Along with a lengthy list of coffee, 冰沙, 复习, and desserts at an affordable price, you can also find a space to study or work while charging your laptop. Another perk of this shop is that you can easily find a place to grab lunch or dinner when you are done studying. Multiple food chains like McDonald’s, 塔可钟, and Pizza Hut are only a few steps away (literally) from 恢复咖啡. 事实上, Subway is next door to this coffee shop! So if you are looking for a place to spend a good amount of your afternoon with your stomach filled, 恢复咖啡不会让你失望.
食品杂货
苹果谷
苹果谷 celebrated its centennial two years ago in 2019, and their products are a
display of why they have been able to maintain their stores for a remarkably long period of time. 在这里, you will not only find groceries selected to promote vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, 同时也是一家花店, 咖啡馆, 和面包店. 也, the Dollar Store is located right next to the 苹果谷, so you will find most of your basic needs met when you visit there.
哈丁的
If 苹果谷 was not enough, or if you were looking for a broader range of options,
参观哈丁的! It is farther away from campus than 苹果谷, but it will take only about fifteen minutes to bike from the dorms. 也, 它每天都开放, so you can always 参观哈丁的 instead of turning back sadly from 苹果谷 when it closes on Fridays an hour before sunset.
也, 就在拐角处, you can find a place called New Berrien Springs Oriental Supermarket to add some Asian flavor to your grocery items. Just be aware that this store is open only on Thursdays 3-7 PM, 周五上午11点至下午6点, 周日上午11点至下午5点.
