Moseley Center

Biggest tip: Get waffles! Pan Geos, which has wraps, salads and pasta during the day, has awesome Belgian waffles in the morning that you should definitely grab. Other than that, Moseley has good food and administrative offices (SGA, Residence Life and New Student Orientation among them) and, if you can find it, you can get a peek at Elon’s student-run radio station, WSOE 89.3 FM. Hint: it’s upstairs somewhere. For those of you who are more forward-thinking, the Student Professional Development Center is also in Moseley. Always a landmark on campus, it’s a good place for meeting up with friends, as well as picking up your mail or grabbing a cup of coffee.

Belk Library

This is the place where you (should) go to cram for that fi- nal, finish up a paper and check out a movie for procrastinating, ahem, taking a break from studying. Every so often, later at night, a voice will come over the speakers telling you there’s cookies in the Writing Center, if you’re lucky. In all seriousness, this is a great place to get some quiet time so you can get work done or plan for group projects. Bonus points to you if you can get a room to yourself with some comfy chairs, but a reminder: They’re not soundproof.

Danieley Center

Yeah, you’re a little distant from campus. Yeah, you’re going to have to walk a long way to class unless you want to adjust your schedule to that of the BioBus. But hey, at least you’ve got basketball courts, a lake, a workout room and food facility all to yourselves! Be sure to visit Lake Verona, named for former president Earl Danieley’s late wife. Beautiful place to chill. And chase ducks.

West Area

This is the area where all of you Communications stu- dents can find a little niche. Not only does the McEwen School of Communications make its home in West Area, the Communications Learning Community is on the first floor of Sloan Hall. With a dining hall also named McEwen that satisfies your hunger with three separate dining options, West Area is a great spot for a weeknight of eating, hanging out and working on that project for DMC (ask a Comm major).

Alumni Gym

This is where you can cheer on your fellow classmates in men’s and women’s basketball in the winter and volleyball in the fall. Be sure to look out for Dr. Danieley — he is always at the men’s basketball games. Speaking of, the men’s basketball team has high hopes for this year after last year’s excitement-inducing season as they attempt to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history, led by ju- nior guard Jack Isenbarger and junior forward Lucas Troutman.

Fitness Center

Need to get those abs in shape? Need a quick dip in the pool? Need a round of racquet- ball? All of these needs can be fulfilled at the gym. There are plenty of ellipticals and bikes and treadmills to work out with as well as an assortment of barbells and weights downstairs. The Olympic-size swimming pool is where you can do your best Michael Phelps or Missy Franklin, and six racquetball courts are at your service for working on your service. Get it?

Center for the Arts

This is where you can find all those dancers, singers and thespians working on their craft. The home to Elon’s re- nowned acting program and music classes hosts many concerts, performances and speakers throughout the year in Mc- Crary Theatre, Yeager Recital Hall and Black Box Theatre. It also provides a spot to look over Lake Mary Nell, where you can see geese, ducks and other aquatic creatures.

East Area

 

Divided from West Area by Alamance Building, East Area holds five residence halls as well as the Academic Pavil- ion, which includes the International Pavilion and Honors Hall. Make sure to check out the so-called “Harry Potter room” in Lindner Hall as well as the amphitheater-style seating provided in the quad of the Academic Pavilion. Tip: The lawn makes a sweet spot for ultimate frisbee and touch foot- ball when class is not in session. A nice open space is something you should never ignore.

Colonnades

Just like West Area, you’ve got housing, food and education. The home of Elon’s business school, Koury Business Center (affection- ately known as KOBC), is in ‘Nades and is a great place for a game of Sardines. Just don’t disturb those hard-working business students. Colonnades, the dining hall, provides two options for eating: a regular dining hall with high-class chocolate milk and “downstairs ‘Nades,” with a convenience store and a sandwich shop commonly known as Boars Head.
