The beginning of the school year marks the time for 8 a.m. classes, clubs and employment on campus, and the start of fall internships- which can also mean a lot of stress. What can help with this stress? The intramural sports offered on campus.

Intramural sports are offered through SNHU’s Campus Recreation Department, which is known as one of the largest student employers found on campus. Not only do they offer intramural sports, but a variety of activities such as group exercise, club sports and fitness classes. Facilities, activities and equipment rooms are open to currently enrolled students free of charge, with a valid SNHU ID.
