Off-Campus Activities

LU is a short drive from many outdoor adventures – a day at the beach, canoeing or fishing on area rivers and lakes, or hiking in the Big Thicket National Preserve. Nearby shopping and entertainment options abound with theaters, museums and live music venues. The region is also home to several golf courses.

Dining Facilities

LU’s gourmet dining hall offers food-court-style service to provide students, faculty and staff with an assortment of delicious meal options daily. Chartwells Dining Services operates the dining hall and four other on-campus eateries. Mirabeaus and the Cardinal Nest in the Setzer Student Center serve fast food favorites, including Starbucks coffee. Locations inside Cardinal Village and the Sheila Umphrey Recreational Sports Center provide convenient dining options near two of the hubs of campus life. Off-campus options near LU include Subway, Sonic and locally owned Kampus Korner.
