Library Hours

I love the hours the library offers here at SRU. They are convenient for each student, whether they have work or are involved in a sport. I transferred from Clarion University and they were only open till 11 during the week. That is early for college students. I love that SRU's are open till 2 during the week. I noticed when I go there late there are ALWAYS many students there really late. Lastly, since finals are coming up they thankfully have the library open 24 hours!

SRU workout classes

The workout classes held at the ARC at night are so fun to go to. I transferred here from Clarion University and they only had one aerobic class twice a day. I loved going to aerobics it was such a good workout. At SRU they have BOSU, zumba, step up, aquatic classes, and many many more. They are so fun to go to and really good work outs. They are later in the nights and only an hour long. They have music playing and very good teachers for each class. If you want a good workout I suggest trying out one of them! They have the time schedule at the ARC if you're interested!

Heart Rate Monitors

I think heart rate monitors are great to use while working out. They help to gain motivation for each work out. Being able to see your progress and effort keeps one on track during an exercise session. A heart rate monitor can also help keep one in the fat burning zone. Heart rate monitors will keep one at the right intensity to improve overall fitness. However, sometimes it is difficult and annoying to make sure the heart rate monitor is working and is close enough to pick up signal. Overall, I think they are a positive thing to use when exercising and I think it is very important for everyone to have one.

GPS

There are so many cool new technologies out there today. I think one of the coolest that I have used is a GPS. I am terrible with directions and using a GPS saves me time and money! It can lower traffic accidents because people will actually know where they are going and aren't making last second decisions. It is amazing how a GPS works and how it can take you anywhere. It can find any restaurant you want, store, or business.
