What do you think of when you hear the word “culture”? Perhaps art, theater, and symphonies1. Maybe you’re reminded of your family background, or the distinctive feel of cities like New York, Tokyo, or Buenos Aires. Andrews University is packed with culture in every sense of the word. The diverse atmosphere ensures that you’ll not only find plenty of people who share the same interests as you, but you’ll also have the opportunity to break out and try something different. You can dive into nearly any cultural niche2 you’re looking for: Snowboarding3, chess, jazz, mountain biking, skydiving, film, music, kite,surfing, weightlifting, even puppeteering and Iron Man triathlon4. Add to these a multitude of international, political, and academic clubs, frequent Student Association activities, art cafes and exhibitions, and the many top-quality Andrews performing arts groups, and you get a thriving, cosmopolitan5 “campus culture”—one that never stops buzzing with activity.
As Andrews’ motto, “Body, Mind, Spirit” affirms, physical development is essential to quality education. That’s why Andrews University provides not only superior academics, but also exciting sports that will never leave you bored. Choose from P. E. clubs like golf, scuba6, racquetball7, and wilderness survival. Head to the playing field Friday and Sunday for pickup soccer. Register your team for all-night athletic tournaments in several sports. And the year-round intramural8 schedule allows you to participate in competitive league and tournament play the entire time you’re here. The program features a full range of sporting options, including indoor and outdoor soccer, basketball, flag football, volleyball, badminton, fast-pitch softball, golf, and floor hockey.
If you’d rather exercise at your own pace, the on-campus network of athletic facilities gives you the freedom to enjoy the study break you deserve anytime. Lift weight, swim, or jog. Play racquetball, tennis, or basketball. And there’s just as much to do off campus. Surrounded by forest preserves, rolling hills, and Lake Michigan, the beautiful Southwest Michigan area is ideal for all kinds of outdoor recreation. Whether you’re into rock-climbing, skydiving, snowmobiling, backpacking, snowboarding, mountain biking, golf, or fishing, you’ll find plenty to satisfy your recreational tastes within an hour of campus.
If you need proof of the dynamic multicultural flavor on campus, just check out the list of student clubs and organizations. The phrase “something for everyone” is an understatement here.The problem is not finding something that interests you, but finding time to fit all the interesting activities into your schedule. They’re certain there’s something that suits you in Andrew University. So certain, we’ve put money on it. That’s right—in case you don’t find what you’re looking for, AUSA has now budgeted funds to help budding organizations get off the ground. So get involved, put your creativity to work, and turn your ideas into action.
当你听到“文化”这个词时会想到什么？或艺术、戏剧、交响乐？也许你会想到家庭背景，或者像纽约、东京或布宜诺斯艾利斯这样与众不同的都市。安德鲁大学所呈现的是一种全方位的文化。多样化的氛围使你不但能结识许多与你志同道合的伙伴，而且有机会突破自我去尝试全新的事物。你可以参与任何你找寻的文化活动：滑雪、国际象棋、爵士乐、高地脚踏车、跳伞、电影、音乐、风筝、冲浪、举重，甚至木偶戏和“铁人”三项全能赛。再加上众多国际性的、政治性的和学术性的俱乐部，频繁的学生联会活动，艺术咖啡厅和各类展览，以及安德鲁一流艺术团体的表演，你能体会到什么才是鼓舞人心和包罗万象的“校园文化”——使人情不自禁沉醉其中。
安德鲁大学的校训是“身体、思想和精神”，这说明，体格发展是品质教育的基础。这就是安德鲁大学为什么不仅提供优良教师还组织激动人心的、让你永远都不会觉得无聊的体育运动的原因。从体育俱乐部中选择你感兴趣的项目吧：高尔夫、潜水、短拍壁球和野外生存。来参加周五和周日的足球赛吧。带着你自己的团队报名参加各类通宵的比赛项目。在校期间，你总有机会在贯穿全年的校内联赛和锦标赛中拼上几回。这些赛事项目广泛多样，包括室内室外足球、篮球、夺旗橄榄球、排球、羽毛球、速掷垒球、高尔夫球和曲棍球。
如果你更喜欢按部就班地自己锻炼，校内的体育设施网络可提供给你充分的自由，使你在学习之余享受应得的服务。举重、游泳或跑步；还有短拍壁球、网球和篮球；还可以在校外做许多运动。群山起伏，绿树环绕，密歇根湖泊和美丽无限的西南密歇根风光，是十分理想的户外娱乐运动场所。不论你去攀岩、跳伞、开雪地机动车、徒步旅行、玩雪橇、骑山地自行车、打高尔夫，还是钓鱼，都能在校园中的每时每刻享受满足与快乐。
如果你想证实校园中生机勃勃的多元文化，只需查阅学生俱乐部和学生组织列表。有个词叫“众人皆宜”，但这种表述并不充分。问题并不是找到你的兴趣所在，而是找时间来适应所有有意思的活动。它们保证你在安德鲁大学能找到适合自己的运动。确认了这点，才可以在这上面花钱。就是这样的——万一你没有找到你需要的，安德鲁大学学生联合会已做了资金预算，帮助那些尚在萌芽中的学生组织发展壮大。因此，请积极参与吧，发挥你的创造力，让梦想转化为行动。
