Biography
If I were a CU student, I would ... Get plugged in with a local church. This is where some of the most meaningful growth and community can happen during your 1000 Days at Cedarville. I’d also encourage you to join a couple of intramural sports that interest you, whether it’s soccer, flag football, golf, pickleball, basketball, or something else. It’s a great way to meet people, stay active, and make lasting memories.
What is the best restaurant in the area? Toasted brunch bar. It is great for after church with friends.
