The five best things about Algonquin College in the summer!

Posted on Tuesday, July 3rd, 2018

It’s the time of year when the last place you probably want to be is on campus. If that’s the case we don’t entirely blame you, but what we will say is that you’re leaving more fun for the rest of us to have!

1. Food Truck Tuesdays

There’s no better way to sooth the summer school soul than to indulge in an amazing food truck during your lunch break. On various Tuesdays throughout the summer you can find different and delicious treats outside of the Student Commons! Check out the schedule.

2. The Horticulture Building

Looking for the perfect place to study and work on your tan? Look no further than the beautiful and lush gardens around the Horticulture (M) building which is just across the way from the main C-building entrance. The garden has places to nap, places to study, and places to enjoy the comforting sounds of falling water (just remember to wear sunscreen!) There are also plants for sale every Tuesday and Friday from 12-1 pm for as low as $1, bring your green thumbs and your loonies!

3. Less lineups at food services locations

Getting your coffee fix has never been faster! Enjoy the calm of the campus during the summer and all the extra time you will have to sip your coffee from various food services locations. See their summer hours of operation here.

4. Fun events such as the Summer Carnival and Psychic Fair

Just around the corner is the Summer Carnival, which takes place July 11 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm on the A building front lawn. It has everything from a dunk tank, to psychic readings, and even caricature portraits! (The weather is going to be great, the psychic already told us!) Other events during the summer are the ACCE Patio Party, the Psychic Fair, and plenty of AC Hub workshops.

5. Taking your lunch outside for once

Yes we all know that eating your lunch at your desk or in your class is super efficient and will likely get you out of the building faster today. Take your time and smell the roses at one of the many great picnic areas here on campus, treat it like an adventure- there is always somewhere new to explore! One of the most-underrated spots is the Green Roof on the ACCE Building, it’s a nice quiet place with a fantastic view.
