As a student at Mount, you get the best of both worlds - a small campus feel with a close-knit surrounding community and a city with numerous activities for students. To get a feel for your new home, read about some off-campus locations where many Mount Union students spend their time:

• Cinemark Carnation Cinema: Where else can you watch newly released blockbuster movies for $5.25? And on Discount Tuesday, tickets are only $3! Have you ever thought about becoming a movie critic?
   
• Mount Union Gateway: The new retail and restaurant plaza, located directly across from the University on State Street, is a short walk away for a much-needed study break! So far, there's a Buffalo Wild Wings, Orange Leaf Yogurt, Farmer's National Bank, Papa Gyro's and Georgio's Pizza, with other businesses to come.
  
  
• Starbucks: If you have a favorite coffee beverage, enjoy it with some new friends when you need motivation to write that big paper! If you don't have a favorite coffee beverage, there are plenty of other tasty options and a nice, relaxing atmosphere!
   
• Jupiter Studios: If you take a trip downtown, be sure to check out this local art gallery, complete with organic pizzas and snacks. They often have live music, too!
   
• Green Farms: Green Farms Country Market is located across from Wal-Mart and has a large selection of fresh fruit, vegetables and other food items at very low costs. It's fun to pick up some healthy snacks to re-fuel during exam week!
   
• Hot Pots Pottery: Pottery and canvas painting, candle making, mosaics, glass fusion - there are countless possibilities at Hot Pots! Keep this spot in mind when you need a fun night away from homework and studying.
