1. Five Dollar Night at Keith's Pizza

Wednesdays and Sundays PSU students rejoice for $5 calzones and pizza from Keith's. The best calzones you can get and it fits into a college budget! Tip: the buffalo chicken calzone is legendary.

2. Secret Beach

When the weather is nice and the campus seems quiet, you'll find everyone at Secret Beach soaking up the sun. PSU students set up camp along the Pemi to play Frisbee, play guitar and hang out around a campfire.

3. The View at Rattlesnake Mountain

If you go to Plymouth State and didn't hike Rattlesnake, did you actually go to Plymouth State? The view of the lakes from this mountain are unreal. If there's one part of Plymouth you cant miss, its the view from The Snake.

4. Floating the Pemi

Grab a drink, grab an inner tube and grab your friends. Floating down the Pemi river during the first few weekends of school is hands down the biggest, most classic, of all Plym traditions.

5. The Lucky Dog

We may not have the night life that bigger city schools have, but we do have The Lucky Dog. And The Lucky Dog rivals even the most college bars of college bars.

6. The Foliage

You haven't seen a New England fall until you've seen it on the Plymouth campus. Seriously.

7. The Hangover Cure (or any breakfast sandwich) at Chase Street Market

Get it when you're sober, get it while you wait for your Thirsty Thursday memories to hit you, but you need to get it. Why? Because there's a hash brown in it. A. HASH. BROWN.

8. Annie's Overflow Challenge

Show your "panther pride" all night. Then at 6 A.M when you don't think you can panther on anymore, go across 'the riv' to Annie's for a nice, big, delicious omelet. It will save you.

9. Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in front of Rounds Hall where you will see a bronzed statue of a man looking over Mary Lyon Lawn. Who is that, you may ask? Well, that's world renowned writer, Mr. Robert Frost, who used to teach here at Plymouth. You could say he took the road less traveled by (up route 93) to PSU.

10. Alternative Spring Break

Plymouth offers a unique opportunity that goes beyond just Cancun for Spring Break. PSU sponsors trips to volunteer in various underprivileged areas across the country. It'll give you a new and extremely rewarding experience. Add that to your resume.

11. The Location

We have skiing, we have hiking, we have lakes, we have rivers, we have the beach an hour away, we have outlets in Tilton. We have ALL THE THINGS.

12. Ski Day

Every year, on one glorious February day, classes are cancelled for the magic of Winter Carnival. On this day everyone packs up their skis and snowboards and heads off to the student selected ski resort. All lift tickets are free and rentals are only $5! And did I mention that, at that same student voted mountain, lift tickets and rentals are crazy cheap all season? It pays off to be a Panther.

13. First Fire at the HUB

Because Plymouth is in the MIDDLE of New Hampshire, it's safe to say it gets damn cold here. But in the dead of winter, you'll always find the fireplace roaring in the Hartman Union Building (better known as the HUB). Every year during the first lighting there's a huge celebration. Everyone comes for snacks, hot cider, speeches from faculty and the yearly (and highly coveted) First Fire Mug that gets handed out to students who attend.

14. Battle of the Bands

Nothing says college like Battle of the Bands. Every year, to determine who opens up for the Spring Fling band, PSU hosts Battle of the Bands in front of the HUB. Not to brag, but Plymouth has some incredibly talented musicians walking among us on campus. So no one misses this one.

15. Open Mic Night

Poetry, stories, and burritos...what could be better? Hosted by PSU's Poets and Writers, head over to grab some food and listen to fellow students share their own writing. You can even sign up to read your own stuff! Snaps all around.

16. Livermore Falls

Do other schools have waterfalls down the road? No. Because they're not nestled into the nature wonderland that is Plymouth, New Hampshire.

17. Spring Fling Weekend

This is the weekend you tell your parents you were too busy to answer the phone because you were in the library studying. OK? The library. There's also always really cool live music performances and stuff...but you wouldn't know that because you were in the library.

18. The Clubs

If you have a hobby, we have a club for it. Like surfing? We have a Surfing Club...bet you didn't think you'd see that in the middle of New Hampshire. You want it? We got it.

19. The Outdoor Center

You can rent anything from the outdoor center. Kayak, skis, hiking gear, you name it. Just show them your PSU ID and you're good to go and experience all that New Hampshire has to offer. And if you don't know where to start, they offer school run activities for all different levels.

20. The People

You will always see a friendly face on campus. Panther Pride is real and you'll never get a stronger sense of community than you'll get at Plymouth State University.
