Student Life
Chart your own course!
It’s not the studying that makes college the best years of your life.
It’s the people and experiences that unearth the person you were meant to be.
From cool hangouts and a state-of-the-art fitness center, to athletics, intramural sports, and unique offerings like rock climbing, Southwestern Michigan College is the place where you can live your best life, explore and redefine who you are, and make life-long friends.
Student Activity Center
The SAC is the hub of campus life. It’s where you can sweat out your stress in the fitness center, challenge your friends to a Rocket League tournament, or relax with a latte in the Zollar Café.
