Timeline

  1. 09:00

    Falcon's Nest

    Grab breakfast or a coffee at Falcon's Nest. The Student Union food court opens early and offers a variety of quick options like smoothies and fast food chains, making it a perfect low-stress start to the day.

  2. 09:30

    Rugby Field

    Walk 12 minutes to the Rugby Field. It is a good spot to stretch your legs and see the bleachers and scoreboard that mark the BGSU athletic grounds.

  3. 10:15

    Bridge Over Troubled Waters

    Head south for 17 minutes to Bridge Over Troubled Waters. This 14-foot memorial honors the events of May 4th, 1970, at Kent State University. It is a solemn, reflective stop that stands as a sister sculpture to the original piece.

  4. 11:00

    Social House

    End your walk by heading back toward the campus center for lunch at Social House. This all-you-care-to-eat dining hall features a salad bar, a specialty vegan section, and a rotating menu. It is open until 21:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in.
