Wellness Apartments

Certain buildings are designated as wellness apartments. Wellness apartments are dedicated to the development and maintenance of healthy lifestyles. Students residing in wellness apartments (and their guests) commit to abstain from the use or possession of tobacco, alcohol and drugs. Guest speakers, health and wellness information and community resources support this concept. Residents, and all other students, have access to the campus Recreation Center, which features a state-of-the-art Fitness Center, a racquetball court, six basketball hoops, and a variety of other classrooms. While there, residents can contact a Recreation Center Specialist for help in forming an individualized workout. At Southwestern, athletics, intramurals, fitness programs, and many other organized student activities across campus will support students this healthy lifestyle.
