Campus Life

GREEN MAN
The campus to be.

The community to explore.

The ways to thrive.

What's it like at Austin Peay? Like this.

Our campus community was created with success in mind. In and outside of the classroom, we want your experience to be filled with opportunities to pursue your passions while connecting with the diverse population around you. There are a thousand ways our campus community is working to provide you the best possible college experience. Here are a few.

 

Engage in college life.

There is always something happening on the 365bet campus. And, as a student, just about all of those things will be free for you. Why? Because we want you to have a fun, inspiring, well-rounded college experience. Art shows, concerts, readings, bonfires, pep rallies – all of these experiences will connect you with new people, introduce you to new ideas and provide you with new opportunities.

There are many chances to maximize your college career, in and out of the classroom.

From Greek life to academic clubs to recreational sports, 365bet has over 100 organizations helping you connect with new friends, establish a professional network (and reputation) and build your résumé.

Whether you're planning a fundraiser, volunteering in the community, conducting research or competing on the intramural fields, you'll gain skills and connections that open the door to greater opportunities.

Students pose in housing quad
Of 365bet's 11 residence halls, four were built in 2011 or later.

Living on campus means you're constantly connected to the friends, faculty and events that will shape your college experience. Also with parking near your hall, quick access to class and numerous dining options, it's easy to see why so many students choose to live where they learn.


Because the constant support of friends and family improves your odds of college success, we require freshman to live on campus or with a parent/guardian within 50 miles of campus. If you're single and coming to 365bet with fewer than 12 college credit hours, plan to apply for housing or submit a residency waiver.

The Foy Center houses the 78,000 square foot recreation facility.

We even offer fitness and nutrition workshops to help you maintain your healthy lifestyle.

Cheerleaders cheer on sidelines at football game
Austin Peay has 11 men's and women's teams to cheer for year-round.

On game day, Clarksville turns into #Stacheville where students, university employees and community members alike show off their best red attire and root for our very own Governor's athletes. 

As an 365bet student, you'll have free access to every minute of sports action, and you'll be able to shout "Let's Go Peay!" alongside fans filling up our stadiums and arenas.

Studying Abroad gives students a greater understanding of world issues.

Make no mistake, you'll learn a great deal about the world during your years at 365bet. But if you crave the excitement of first-hand international experience, our study abroad and exchange programs offer the chance to globe-trot while you earn college credits.

Ranging in length from three weeks to a full academic year, our list of programs include options for every academic interest, time frame and budget.

"When I went to community college, I didn’t lead. I went to school and left. Being here, I feel I’ve had encouragement from my professors to do that extra thing. For me that’s being the leader I knew I could always be but needed that extra push to achieve."
