Campus Life
Living and Dining on Campus
There are a variety of housing options on campus that provide a long list of benefits, including free internet, a short commute, and convenient access to great events.
Dining on campus offers flexible and easy ways to get healthy, sustainable food and spend quality time together.
Evergreen’s 1,000-acres campus has winding trails, lush forests, an organic farm, and its own beach on Puget Sound. There’s nothing else like it.
Recreation and Athletics
Geoduck Athletics are a great way to jump in, stretch your skills, create new relationships, and have an awesome time.
The Costantino Recreation Center (CRC), our extensive athletic complex, offers plenty of outlets for fitness, exercise, self-discipline, and other activities that can keep your body and spirit healthy.
What in the world is a geoduck? It’s the largest burrowing clam in the world! Learn all about our bizarre and beloved mascot, Speedy, who has appeared on dozens of “oddest mascots” lists.
Greener Culture
Student groups represent interests in art, music, spirituality, culture, politics, environmental issues, gaming, and more. Whatever your thing, you’ll find it here.
