The leisure and recreation opportunities that the NWU offers students include:

• JOOL RAG- RAG stands for Reach Out and Give. The NWU Potch campus RAG has been established in 1942. Annually young people from all over the country migrate to this student town to participate in this student-driven festival. This event is synonymous with shows by some of the best local artists and the best local artists and the famous float parade.         The purpose of the RAG experience is not solely to provide students with a good time but it’s also for a good cause. All proceeds are donated to the community which is used to fund 87 community proceeds. For this festival, the hostels on campus fold flowers to create big mannequins for the parade.
• Sport- It is without a doubt said that the NWU is big on their sports, they take it way too seriously. The leisure and recreation opportunities offered include sports, which they offer for students. Students can be in the different NWU sporting teams from rugby to basketball. The school offers a wide range of sports for students.
• Sub-committees- the sub-committees are normally easily accessible for students that stay on campus. The sub-committees include TAD with current affairs and value your environment, SRCS, etc. Students that stay in hostels have more access than those who stay off campus because it is part of the hostel culture.

University of Cincinnati- The UC Campus Recreation Center is an impressive building with over 200 000 square feet of recreation facilities. A juice bar and a convenience store are also available to students for immediate refreshing during or after a big workout. The CRC has three pools, over 21,000 pounds of weights, a climbing wall, and a suspended track. With a heavy focus on swimming and other aquatic sports, the facility is a big bonus in Ohio's nasty winter. The University of Cincinnati has always placed a premium on impressive architecture, and the CRC is an example of this. UC's facilities for student-athletes are also impressive. The Richard Lindner building is futuristic looking and is the crown jewel of UC's Varsity Village which includes Fifth Third Arena and Nippert Stadium. The building is wedged into a tight spot between the football stadium (Nippert) and the basketball stadium and was built when UC joined the Big East conference. UC students have all the amenities that modern students expect, but they enjoy partaking of them in world-class architectural achievements, which is a big part of why Cincinnati takes our top spot.

The University of Texas actually oversees an eight-building recreational campus that puts it on par with virtually any university in the country. UT has over 500,000 sq. ft of indoor rec space and over 40 acres of outdoor recreation. The centrepieces of this eight-building tribute to fitness and athletic dominance are the Gregory Gym and the Anna Hiss Gym.

Together, these two facilities offer seven basketball courts, an archery studio, dance classes, personal training, handball, and racquetball courts, a full-size Olympic swimming pool, and much more. When paired with the remaining six rec buildings on campus, it's no wonder student-athletes here often go into professional sports after graduation.

University of Missouri-The highlight of Missouri's campus rec center is the university's "indoor beach," which is situated by the pool and features a waterfall that operates on a continuous basis. There is also a lazy river, meeting all the swim needs of Missouri students. Missouri's recreation facilities resemble a high-end gym more than a traditional campus rec center, with a full-service spa and high-end spin class studio among the offerings.

The University of Missouri has never had a problem attracting top athletic and scholastic talent, but the campus recreation center found on campus might seal the deal for even greater numbers of students. There is, after all, no better definition of luxury than an indoor beach in a state 1,500 miles from the nearest outdoor option.
