Recreation Our 140-acre campus has plenty of field space.
Students often initiate informal games of soccer and ultimate frisbee.
Lighted tennis and basketball courts, a volleyball pit, and a 25-meter swimming pool provide more outdoor recreation options. New College economics professor Rick Coe coaches a trophy-winning softball team on which students and faculty play. Students also generate, on the basis of current interest rather than tradition, debating and brain bowl teams that sometimes bring home major regional trophies despite rather brief training. Cycling is basic transit at New College, and the campus bike shop, staffed by student volunteers, will repair your bike for the cost of parts.
