Hey! I’ve been looking into the University of Dayton and was wondering what students usually do on weekends there. Is it more chill or are there fun things happening around campus or in the city? Just trying to get a feel of the vibe!
Totally depends on your vibe, honestly! A lot of students love heading to the RecPlex to play basketball, go swimming, or hit the gym—it’s kind of a social spot too. Then there’s always something going on at the Kennedy Union—movie nights, open mics, random events. Dayton’s not a massive city, but it’s got some cool pockets.
Yeah, and the student neighborhood is always lively on weekends. If you’re into more laid-back stuff, a lot of people grab coffee at Ghostlight or go thrifting nearby. There are also a bunch of parks like Carillon and Wegerzyn for when you just need to get out in nature for a bit.
And don’t forget Flyer basketball games when they’re on! The whole campus shows up—it’s super high energy and kind of a big deal here. Even if you’re not a sports person, it’s fun to be part of. Plus, downtown Dayton has some lowkey good food spots and live music on weekends.
