Bowling Green is a small town that thousands of college students call home. Although the town is small it has captured a solid amount of millennials hearts, sometimes Bowling Green even has the effect of keeping students here for five, maybe even six years, and if you're on your seventh year you'll probably just stay forever. There are many quirks to make you love BG, there are also a few things to make you hate BG, and for some reason, there are many that make you never want to leave BG. No matter what your major is, what your hobbies are, or who you hang out with, you will be able to relate at least one thing on this list. Each and every person has their own reason to love BG, but here's a list of why you love and hate BG.
1. J-Walking Wooster
I think I can speak for every BGSU student when I say everyone has J-walked Wooster at least once in their life.
2. Parking tickets
I would just like to say that BGSU Parking Services is a dedicated bunch of people, but probably one of the most hated groups on campus by anyone who owns a car. However, some people don't learn their lesson after the first $200 worth of parking tickets.
3. Tuesday nights at Shots
If it's a Tuesday night and there's not an exam in the morning, you're at Shots.
4. Club Jerome
Going to the seventh floor of the library is a social event, if you want peace and quiet I'd suggest the eighth floor. Either way, you're bound to get some homework done.
5. Hating Toledo
It's just a given.
6. Selling pizza on the side walk
This is probably the most genius thing I've seen in my entire life. If you walk the side walk of Wooster around 2 a.m. you will find people selling pizza, but don't worry it's not randoms it's an actual business. It's also only $5, what a deal.
7. Walking to the right
The seal is a very important piece of campus, but if there is one thing you should know about it, ALWAYS WALK TO THE RIGHT. If you notice in the picture everyone is walking to the right, this is because no one wants to have bad luck. This is actually scarier than the chain text you didn't forward in the seventh grade, so please just walk to the right.
8. The train
Ever want to be woken up in the middle of the night? Have no fear, BG has a train you can hear no matter what part of town you're on.
9. Bars at midnight
I've visited friends that go to other universities and they go to the bars as early as 10:30, but at BG that is not an option. It doesn't matter if it's a Monday night, you just simply don't go to the bars until midnight.
10. Falcon Friday!
Because on Fridays, school spirit is just a little more necessary.
11. No Matching Buildings
There is really no theme to our campus and every building looks different from one another.
