Welcome to The BOG, a cool, subterranean, on-campus hangout that has been a popular gathering space for students since 1962 (fact: it's on the former site of an actual bog). Go bowling for free in our eight-lane bowling alley. Play video games and arcade games, darts, billiards, foosball, air hockey, and ping pong. You can also check out a band or stand-up comedy performance, or show off your karaoke skills. If you need to refuel, grab some of The BOG's legendary waffle fries.
