AVILA UNIVERSITY
HANG OUT SPOTS
With campus enhancements constantly improving around campus, there are more places to hang out with your friends or for some quiet time by yourself. The Eagle's Nest inside Marian Center is where students go to play some pool or ping-pong or just to watch a movie in between classes. Our newest residence hall, Thompson Hall, has a great lounge for hanging out with fellow students. If you need a quite place to study, the library is a great place to work on your homework or do some research, plus they offer refreshments at special times during the day.
