| Buying a washer and dryer or … visiting the Laundromat. | Cape’s cheapest and cleanest laundry facilities are right in your residence hall. |
| Studying losing out to reality TV? | Study groups, tutors, and even some floors dedicated to students of the same academic major. |
| Boredom from watching that episode of “Bing Bang Theory” for the 15th time. | New friends to watch that episode of “Bing Bang Theory” with for the 15th time, plus intramural sports, mud volleyball, haunted houses, floor parties, and more. |

| Can’t afford pricey gym memberships | Two student recreation centers and the aquatic center are free and within walking distance. |
