Student events on campus

During your time at Brenau, you’ll have many opportunities to add some entertainment to your schedule and meet other students through on-campus activities.

Residence Life

While living on campus, Brenau will become your home away from home. Whether you live in a residence hall or university apartment, your space will be more than a place to sleep, it’ll be where you study, hang out, make friends and relax.

Brenau Dining Services

You don’t have to travel off campus to grab a quick bite or meal between classes. Brenau’s historic Gainesville campus houses both the Hopkins Dining Hall and Tea Room, which provide large selections of food sure to cater to any palate.

The Hopkins Dining Hall features meals plans for purchase, or you may pay at each visit. The dining hall provides seven stations, which include Italian cuisine, comfort food, international dishes, dessert and salad.

The Tea Room, located in Sorority Circle, contains Brewed Awakenings, a coffee shop with Starbucks options; P.O.D. Market, a general store with food and school supplies; and Burgers + Fries, which serves burgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, vegetarian options and other hot items.

Embrace everything Brenau has to offer. It was genuinely the best four years of my life, and I’m so glad that I took every opportunity. I said yes to every door that opened and learned to grow from every experience. It has played such a big role in who I am today.

I say do everything the campus offers. Join clubs, student services — do everything. If you don’t, you’ll look back and wish you did. You only have four years here, so make them beautiful.

Student Government Association

The Brenau Student Government Association, one of the oldest organizations on campus, serves as the voice of all undergraduate students. As a student, you can share any concerns you have with the university with this group, and SGA officers and senators will work with Brenau administrators and faculty to address those issues and improve campus life. If you are interested in joining SGA, email sga@tiger.brenau.edu.

Clubs and organizations

Pursuing your curiosities and hobbies shouldn’t stop in college. If you’re a fan of gardening, fashion, art and design, journalism, politics, community service or anime, we have a club for you. And if we don’t already, we will work with you to create one!
