Although it's easy to get to nearby cities (Boston & New York City), most students stick around campus on the weekends. To keep them busy, the Campus Activity Board (CAB - a student organization) plans a full schedule of events ranging from school-sponsored theme parties to the newest indie band playing in the Downstairs Cafe. Throughout the course of the academic year, students can expect to see numerous dance, drama, and music performances by their fellow classmates and teachers, weekly lectures in the social sciences and arts, film screenings in the on-campus movie theatre, midnight movies (when the College rents the local theatre), Sunfest (an outdoor music festival), Battle of the Bands, Rollerama, Pigstock (school-wide barbeque - vegan ribs included), Fashion Show (student designers), acoustic night, open mics, Bowlerama (when the College rents the local bowling alley), and Midnight Breakfast (an end of the term surprise). It's hard to find time to do it all!;Each college profile contains important information, including an overview, detailed information on services and facilities at the college, information on campus life, and extracurriculars.
