As a traditional undergraduate student, the classmates you meet at the Student Orientation and Recreation (SOAR) might be from a rival high school, the same community college, across the country or around the world. Wherever they call home, you've got things to tell each other and experiences to share. You can swim, work out or play pick-up basketball at the Rice Center. Maybe you'll volunteer at a food shelter, plan a festival and cheer for the Eagles basketball team with your new friends. Rock bands, club meetings, residence hall workshops and pub parties all tempt you to have fun. Living in one of our single gender or coed residence halls, or Founders' Woods apartments, can feel like an instant social life, but commuters also find it easy to get involved by joining a club, eating lunch with everybody at the Sodexho Services dining hall, or hanging out at the Krasa Student Center.

My friends from Benedictine were bridesmaids at my wedding, gave me a baby shower and were there for me when I delivered my son, and helped me move into my new house. I don't know how far I would have gotten without them." Lisa Moore-Jones, C96 "As a student, I have developed several friendships with other students, as well as professors, through involvement with on-campus organizations. I've been exposed to different ethnic backgrounds and cultures with the diverse group of students at Benedictine University. Some of these friendships will last me a lifetime."
