Breaks from studying are important. Very important. So, occasionally come out of your residence hall or library nook and try to HAVE FUN.
There's plenty to enjoy on campus: concerts, comedians, films, lectures, SU's coffeehouse "The Korouva Milkbar," innumerable intramural and recreational activities, and 75 student organizations that do their fair share of socializing! Check the campus kiosks and watch SU TV to keep up with what's going on.
