In honor of Valentine's Day drawing near, here are some of the most romantic places on campus to take your significant other that are sure to make this Valentine's Day, a one to remember.
1. Church Fine Arts
2. Joe Crowley Student Union: Fourth Floor
Starbucks? Check. Bagel? Check. Your date? Check. Now where to go? The fourth floor of the Joe, of course! At the very top of the Joe is not only the ballrooms, but also chairs, couches and tables to eat, sleep, and have the most perfect date for two. What's Valentine's Day without siting by the fireplace on the cold wintry night, and then going outside the doors to the balcony to overlook the campus?
3. Mackay Mines
Located in the Quad, The Mackay Mines building is filled with a numerous amount of places to study, read and learn. This historical building features the School of Earth Sciences and Engineering offices, DeLaMare Library, and the W.M. Keck Museum. But the best part? It is a great romantic building for you and your date! Forgot to get your girlfriend a present? Have no fear, Mackay Mines has a 3-D printer, so you can make her something truly special, like an iPhone case. Want to show your date your inttelicual side? Take a walk through the Keck Museum and by the end of the night, your date will thank you for taking them on such a magnificent journey in Mackay.
4. Donald W. Reynolds School of Journalism
Located directly across from Ansari Business Building is the journalism building. With some of the world's comfiest seating areas, this place is a perfect date spot for Netflix and quality time together. It will be love-at-first-seat. And may you and your date live happily ever after, until your next class do you part.
5. Honor Court
Looking for a nice romantic walk on campus? Then the Honor Court is the place for you. You and your date can marvel at the eloquent, breathtaking, pillars inscribed with former students that left their mark on the university. Want to blow your date away? Tell them that your name is in the Honor Court. With an evening like this, there are endless possibilities on how you can leave your mark on your date tonight.
6. Manzanita Lake
Overlooking the lake itself, is this beautiful part of campus, complete with benches, tables and the cutest little swans, ducks, and sometimes the occasional turtle you ever did see. Manzanita Lake is the perfect place to get your romance on. Maybe show off your singing chops at karaoke night, your mad skills for a volleyball game, or love for Duck Day. Either way, Manzanita Lake is the perfect date spot for you and your special friend.
7. Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center
Do you have an exam you need to study for, but also have a honey to attend to? Well, the Knowledge Center is the perfect date spot to kill two birds with one stone as you and your date get your study date on. Looking for more of a relaxing evening? Tired of the loud, noisy, overcrowded restaurants during this holiday? The Knowledge Center is there to give you a nice relaxing evening, sitting by the pile of textbooks. Grab some takeout, your textbooks, and maybe a nice scented candle to get this all-nighter started.
8. Mackay Stadium
Trying to show your date your athletic side? Well, there is no better place than Mackay Stadium! Whether you are in the student section running with the Pack, or just there for team spirit, get ready for lots of hollering and screaming for more in more places than just the bedroom! Go pack!
9. Chemistry Building
*Insert cheesy Chemistry romance pun here*
10. The Quad
Our final stop on this romantic getaway has ended us up in the place where the trees are so tall, the grass is so green and the things to do with your date are endless. Almost every few feet there is a bench to sit on and a very open grass area to set up a picnic, go on a romantic walk, do some couple's yoga, or take some couple photos, whatever romantic agenda you have planned for that special someone, the Quad is always there.
