- Laura : “I don't personally engage in sports, but I do visit Olympos for the sports bar to enjoy affordable beer with friends.”
- Nicole : “One spot I can highly recommend to all students is the university gym – it has a variety of classes to choose from, is fully equipped with machines and has plenty of open space for stretching or individual workouts. I think it has been really helpful to have a space to release stress in between the high-pressure environment of my Masters course. ”
