On Campus
Community life at Antioch College is what you make of it. Students get involved with committees, go on amazing co-ops, plan activities, and take classes with professors with wide-ranging experiences and world views.
On campus, students have a lot of freedom to determine their own extra- and co-curricular activities. Traditionally, Antioch College students have formed independent groups around specific political or personal interests. Any community member can start an independent group at Antioch. These groups can exist intermittently or for only one term. Others can be permanent presences on campus.
Each generation of Antiochians has created groups to serve their particular interests. In recent years, these have included: 
Antioch Environmental Group: working to address environmental issues on and off campus
Queer Center: providing a support group and network for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and queer populations at Antioch
Third World Alliance: established by students to organize and serve the interests of racially oppressed students at Antioch College
Unidad: founded to empower Latino and Native American students
Women's Center: a resource center providing support, assistance, opportunities, and sisterhood to women at Antioch
Off Campus
The campus is within walking distance of downtown Yellow Springs. While Yellow Springs is a fairly small village of just under 4,000 people, there's always something to do in town. Catch an independent film, listen to live bands, eat at one of the region's finest restaurants. There is also the Glen Helen Nature Preserve, 1,000 acres of quiet peacefulness just across the street from campus. The Glen includes woods, open fields, streams, and wetlands that were gifted to the College by alumnus Hugh Taylor Birch.
Outdoor recreation can also include trips to John Bryan State Park and the Yellow Springs Bikeway, one leg of the Little Miami Scenic Trail that runs 78 miles from Springfield to Cincinnati.
The Riding Centre is available for experienced and budding equestrians. Facilities include two barns, rolling pastures, a large outdoor ring, a lighted indoor ring, a cross-country hunt course, several wooded trails, outdoor shelters for the horses, and stables.
There's also plenty of shopping and nightlife in Yellow Springs and a short drive away in Dayton and Columbus.
