Students find outside ac¬ tivities Students come to college to learn. They spend the majority of their days in the classroom. If there is not time to finish class work in the 70-minute period they must spend time outside of class to get their assignments done. BCCC students spent many hours studying in the Library. Many research tools helped them write those English Composition papers. They also im¬ proved their skills working in the labs. After the Library closed many stu¬ dents put in extra time on their home¬ work in their dorm rooms or at home. On many nights, students who had free time went to the commons area. This was a good place to meet people for a friendly game of pool or to meet the challenge of pingpong. Students also gathered around the big screen TV to watch a good movie. Weekends were usually a time to relax. Relaxation to some students started with a shopping trip into Great Bend. Sometimes transportation to town was provided by Student Affairs. There were athletic events on weekends such as basketball, baseball, tennis, cross country meets and volleyball. Several dances were held throughout the year. If there were no activities that a student wanted to attend on campus, many times he or she would meet friends at local night spots. Division Page Student Life 7
