Alfred University student life means club meetings and movie nights, hikes and guest speakers, music and theater, games and gallery openings, sports and student government. And that's just one week.

Student Activities

Think there's nothing to do at a small university? Think again. On any given day or night, Saxons can be found mountain biking, working with robots, gaming or creating masterpieces. Our Student Activities team is an engine of cool ideas to keep your calendar as full as you wish.
