Whether you're new to Worcester State, it's your last year or anything in between, here are a few of my personal favorite things about campus.

9. Lancer's Loft

Pizza, wings, burgers -- what's better than that? There's great food that uses dining dollars! It’s open late, and it’s conveniently located in the student center, so you can watch TV while you eat!

8. The C-Store

It took me a while to figure out that the C in C-Store stood for convenience, but nevertheless, it's always there for me. Candy, chicken parms, lemonade -- whatever it might be, it's there!

7. Food Court

Yes, this is the third food place discussed, but don't even get me started on their nachos.

6. Late Night Lancer

An activity every Thursday night! DIY Pinterest crafts, headphone disco, bingo and crayon art, just to name a few.

5. Student-run events

The student events committee works hard each year to plan fun activities for the student body, ranging from comedians to hypnotists and ghost hunts to duck hunts. Plus, each event has food and some have free things like T-shirts!

4. Clubs/Activities

There are so many clubs to join on campus, including academic or clubs just for fun. There are tons of sports teams to try out for. There are work studies. There are a plethora of opportunities for student's to get involved on campus. It will take you no time to find something thats right for you!

3. We rep our school pride.

2. The students make it feel like a community.

Everyone is so welcoming and open-minded. They're so nice and will help you if you have any issues or questions. I can promise you that.

1. Professors

They are really there for you. They want to see you succeed. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask! Go to their office hours, set up a meeting with them and if you have a problem with a deadline, let them know! They're cooperative and are people just like you. They're understanding and know that things happen.
