You'll probably spend some of your free time at the Wyoming Union, the central point for the campus community. There's a place to hang out that features local and regional bands and comedians, as well as a big-screen TV for special events. A recent pageant at the nearby Vedauwoo formations featured UW students performing an innovative mix of rock climbing and dancing. I think that UW's size is perfect. It gives a student a unique opportunity to get involved.
Great trails offer great diversions.
