Columbia's Activity and Recreation Center

Staying in shape can be a challenge. When it comes to exercise, some people can be hard to please, craving instant satisfaction over hard work and sweat.

Whatever your desire, you're likely to find an outlet at the Activity and Recreation Center. It is affordable and can fit into the often hectic student lifestyle.

Five things every college student should know about the ARC:
