1.     The Gunk

 

Not a rock band, but a preserve in the fall and an ice skating rink in the winter.

PLEASE BE ADVISED:  No swimming allowed.

 

2.     “Health and Safety Check”

 

The number one dreaded term for on-campus residents.  Also the number one reason students hide all of their illegal dorm items.

 

3.     Parking Permit

 

Whether you have a car on campus, or don’t, this term will forever be embedded in your brain.  Just get a permit.

 

4.     H.A.B Circle

 

The meeting place for various groups on campus aka “The place in front of the big glass building!”  

 

5.     Hip-Hop Cardio

 

The sole purpose the gym exists.  An hour of sweat, dancing, and some more sweat!  Most likely the best class you’ll find at the gym

 

6.     Main Street

 

This might be the only street in New Paltz.

 

7.     Bistro

 

Craving two eggs, home fries, and whole-wheat toast?  Go on to Main Street Bistro and grab it for a whopping $1.95.  No wonder the place is always packed!

 

8.     Happy Hour

 

Every student’s Friday night out.

 

9.     SUB

 

Home of the fancy freestyle Coke machines no one can afford.

 

10.  H.A.S

 

Hasbrouck Dining Hall.  Enough said.
