Student union building - what do you call Cheel? It sure looks like the student union to me. The hockey arena also happens to be in Cheel but it's what I would call a student union.

As for things to do - no, there is not a lot to do. If your son likes to ski, there's a ski club. He can ski at Whiteface every weekend once, and there are weekend trips to Vermont a couple times. The Whiteface pass is an excellent deal (something like $260 for the season for Whiteface and Gore). If he likes hockey, there are lots of games to watch.

Engineers have clubs that can keep them busy - as well as the ever present workload. Freshmen engineers take physics, chemistry and calculus both semesters along with other courses. That means a cycle of tests 3 times for chem and physics and 4 times for calc. I am amazed at the amount of work. Students really need to be motivated.
