Upon entering your first year at Rollins, you may wonder about the popular places to hang out both on campus and within Winter Park. As part of your local orientation you may want to refer to this list of just a few of the places that Rollins students seem to gravitate towards.
On Campus:
Dave's Down Under: Whether you're stopping by to watch football on the big screen or gorging on cheese sticks at the Grill at 1:00 in the morning, there's always something going on 'down unda.'
The Pool: Even if it's overcast, you can always find students sunning by the pool (and very few actually inside the pool) well into the semester.
Outside of the Campus Center and CSS: If you feed them, they will come. These areas are especially busy during dining hours, more specifically during common hour starting around 12:30 every Tuesday and Thursday.
Outside Ward by Volley Ball Courts: Students can often be seen sitting around the singular round table doing anything from just talking, playing guitar, or studying over a coffee from Diane's.
Dinky Dock: For a change of scenery from the pool, students can lounge, study, tan, etc. both on the dock and the "beach" on the edge of the lake.
Off Campus:
Power House- The foreign owners of this healthy lunch and smoothie spot (located just off of Park Ave. and right after passing the Gap) have perfected their skills of flirting and being chummy with the Rollins students who stop in, and with good reason! Power House's popularity amongst students is comparable to that of a cult following.
Tropical Smoothie Cafe- For an alternative (and sometimes considered superior) smoothie from those served at Power House, Tropical Smoothie Cafe's location brazenly screams competition from right across the street.
Starbucks on Park Ave.- We all need somewhere to feed our legal addictions.
Urban Flats- Day and night you can usually find someone from Rollins enjoying one of their flatbreads at Urban Flats on the corner of Fairbanks and New York. Just go. It's amazing.
P.R.'s Taco Palace- Rollins students love P.R.'s for their exciting ambience, authentic cuisine, and proximity to campus.
Disney World/ Universal Studios- Obviously the happiest places on earth.
