I love UM’s campus, it has so much to offer and not only is it always so beautiful, but it’s really lively as well and you can always see people around. My three favorite spots on campus are:

• Tables by the Patio - Multiple times a week I’ll sit at the umbrella tables by the patio and get lunch with friends. It’s always a nice spot to hang out at, you can always see people walking around and tabling in the area, and on Thursdays there’s Patio Jams which is always so fun! Even when I’m on the phone, I like to just sit there and talk.  

• The Rat - I like The Rat not only because it has an amazing atmosphere and is so much fun to hang out with friends there on the gliders, but also because they always do a lot of fun programming as well. There’s Trivia Tuesdays and other events The Rat puts on to have events all throughout the school year for students to have fun and get lots of cool giveaways. I have also been a member of the Rathskeller Advisory Board for 2 years now, and love all that The Rat does.

• The Wednesday Farmers Market - While this isn’t a physical location, the Farmers Market on Wednesdays has always been such a highlight of UM’s food spots for me. If I don’t have class, I will likely be getting lunch there every week. Everything at the market is so delicious, there’s so much it offers, and it’s a cute vibe to walk around to the different vendors with friends and check everything out. A go-to for me is the poke bowl. (Unrelated, but Sushi Maki in the food court also has good boba in my opinion, I recommend getting that as well).
