Franklin & Marshall - Campus Life

Campus Life

With a distinctive approach to college housing, more than 140 active student clubs and organizations, dozens of fitness classes, club and intramural sports teams, its own art museum, and abundant opportunities to engage in volunteer service, Franklin & Marshall provides students with a vibrant campus life experience to complement their academic pursuits.

Learning, Living, Leading, Growing, Giving Back

Activity in student groups, the arts, civic engagement, and athletics and recreation all enhance the culture of teaching and learning at F&M by allowing students to form new friendships, create meaningful and memorable community experiences, discover important life lessons outside of the classroom, and make the most of their years at F&M.

Opportunities and Activities

As Benjamin Franklin, one of our College's founders, put it so well: "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." We invite you to get involved, to open new horizons of learning and service.
