COLLEGE HOUSE EVENTS
Yogurt Bowls and Schuylkill Stroll
Residents will kick off the semester with a relaxed morning by the water — building their own yogurt bowls with fresh fruit and granola toppings, then heading out together for a guided walk along the Schuylkill River Trail. The program pairs an easy, communal activity (building a bowl) with light movement and a chance to explore one of Philly's best-known outdoor spaces just steps from campus.
