Ella Guthrie, freshman youth ministry major, would spend her time going to Day Drinkers coffee shop to catch up with friends, do her quiet time and enjoy good coffee.

Do you love to drink coffee and play pickleball? Logan Sowers, junior Christian studies major said, “Find community that stays on campus, go to The Village Grind coffee shop downtown Greenville and do homework. Then, go to Otter Creek to play pickleball.”
Michael McKinley, freshman criminal justice major, recommended going hiking at Jones Gap State Park in Marietta.
