Do most students stay on campus on
weekends?
Students who are looking for on-campus activities will not be
disappointed. Choose from a huge variety of clubs and activities.
Among them are: Student Activities Board, Student Senate,
Intercultural Student Association, The Musician’s Union, Gaming
Guild, Theater Club, OAK (outdoor adventure klub) and many others.
DWC also invites comedians, musicians, politicians, business leaders
and others to entertain, enlighten and inform our campus community
on a regular basis.
Scheduled events on campus
occur almost every weekend, and many students choose to stay. But,
because we are centrally located, there's a lot to do off campus as
well. On weekends, many students take advantage of DWC's proximity
to Boston, the White Mountains, the New Hampshire seacoast, and the
many other activities Northern New England has to offer.
