All of your time on campus does not have to be spent learning or studying. The Louisville Cardinal is here with 10 things you can do right on the University of Louisville’s campus during your free time or time between classes.

Go see a play and support the theatre department. Productions are held in two locations: the Playhouse and the Thrust Theatre. Tickets are available to students at a discounted price – $10 for musicals, $8 for regular shows and $40 for season tickets.

Volunteer at the Garden Commons. Located right by the Cultural Center, the Garden Commons is run by students and is always welcome to new members.

Attend a concert. The School of Music houses a talented faculty and group of students. Occasionally, shows are put on by students, staff and guests. More information can be found by going to louisville.edu/music and clicking on the Calendar tab at the top of the page.

Go watch a movie. The Floyd Theater in the SAC has movies nearly every week, ranging from classics to indie films. Some of the shows are free. More information can be found via their Twitter, at @TheFloydTheater.

The Ralph R. Wright Natatorium, located on the east side of campus, is an incredible facility available to all students. Take a swim there for free – with ID – during their hours of operation. For more information regarding hours, visit louisville.edu/athletics/natatorium/hours.

Strike up a friendly game of ping pong or pool. Located on the second floor of the SAC, the Cardinal Corner has ping pong tables and pool tables, as well as a TV lounge, available for students who present their ID. Hours of operation can be found at louisville.edu/intramurals/facilities/cardinalcorner.
