Broad Street Commons

Make the 10-minute walk back from class at SUNY Plattsburgh and sit in the courtyard at Broad Street Commons as you catch some rays of sunshine and chat to friends over a cold drink. While the sun’s still out, throw a frisbee around on the huge grassy lawn or hit up the volleyball court. Grab your car from the free off-street parking and drive three minutes to the nearby Aldi supermarket to stock up on groceries for dinner. If you’re too tired to cook, tuck into a hot meal at the on-site café, open until 3am to see you through all-night study sessions.

On chillier evenings, cozy up on the couch in your apartment’s comfy shared living space. Heat up some hot chocolate on the full-sized stove to drink with your housemates, and settle down to watch the free cable TV. Take a Skype call from your family in the privacy of your bedroom – with free high-speed internet, you can stay connected as long as you like. When you’re done, head to the remodeled game room to meet friends for a pool tournament – you’ll have plenty more to talk about next time you call home!

Sleep well in your spacious bed and hit the 24-hour fitness center bright and early when you wake up, watching the flatscreen TVs to keep you motivated. Jump in the shower in your private bathroom, throw your gym gear in the laundry, then choose something to wear from your roomy closet. Head out to school, reaching out to the on-site courtesy officer with any questions on your way.
