Activities At Coe

Hey all! I just want to take a moment to let you know about all of the activities that go on at Coe on a weekly basis! The best part about these activities is that they're all FREE, and put on by Coe! Most are on campus, but there are also free or cheap activities off campus! On campus, every Friday and Saturday night, there are different events going on in the PUB. These events include musicians, slam poets, comedians, movie nights, dances, speakers and more! Also, when the weather is nice, Coe will have random carnival days out in the quad! They set up bags and all kinds of other games to play and serve free corn dogs and sno cones! Sometimes they set up mini golf and disc golf courses around campus, which are always fun to play. There is also an outdoor basketball court on campus as well as a beach volleyball court, those always stay busy on the weekends! Whether it's hanging outside in the quad with friends when you're not in class, playing music with friends outside or playing sports outside there are always things to do besides these events!

Coe also offers many activities off campus. We have a Student Activities Committee who's sole purpose is to provide activities for students to do! On Friday nights, at Wehrenberg movie theater in Cedar Rapids, if you show your Coe ID for a movie at midnight you get in for free! There are also three minor league sports teams here in Cedar Rapids, the Kernels, a baseball team, the Rough Riders, a hockey team, and the Titans, an arena football team! Personally, the hockey games are my favorite, but they are all fun to go to! Coe will sell tickets for some of these games for only $3! One of my favorite trips that the Student Activities Committee plans is the ski trip to Sundown Ski Resort in Dubuque, IA. A bus full of Coe students goes to this ski resort for the night and spends the whole night there skiing and snowboarding! There are many more events that the SAC puts on, too many to name! Come check out Coe and see for yourself!

Besides these events put on by Coe, the city of Cedar Rapids has such an awesome community that always has fun things going on! Downtown Cedar Rapids is only a mile away from Coe, and there's so much to do down there! There's bike trails, great restaurants, live music, farmers markets, outdoor amphitheater, and so much more! There is also a mall and many other great restaurants the opposite direction of downtown from Coe! Coe is in the perfect location to be entertained, get cultured and also to get great jobs and internships at some big companies in Cedar Rapids.
