Green River Offers Many Free Time Activities

January 15, 2007

Students enjoy skiing in Whistler, B.C.

We want you to know that students you send to Green River Community College will have many opportunities outside of the classroom. We believe that enjoying time away from the classroom is an important part of the learning experience at Green River. Many social, physical and cultural activities are available for international students. A full-time activities coordinator is available to help international students find the right activities for them. From sports events to rock music to sightseeing tours, GRCC plans something exiting for every week of the year.
