When you are choosing a college，a lot of factors will probably influence your decision：the school's reputation, the classes offered and the professor in your major, to name a few.However, given the ever-increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all their students.Here are some of the fun“extras”offered by the schools.
Michigan Technological University
Taking advantage of the cold winter weather, Michigan Technological University sets itself apart with its on-campus ski resort, Mont Ripley, which is accessible and free for all students.Instead of hitting the campus gym, you'll be able to get your exercise outside on the slopes.When the pressure of school becomes too much, just head out for a day of free skiing and you'll be left feeling fully refreshed.
University of Missouri
At the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus recreational centers in the country.It features an“indoor beach”complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as an inexpensive full-service spa.Even if you don't enjoy working out, Missouri's recreational center will give you a good reason to go to the gym.
New York University
If you're a fan of museums，NYU is the perfect university for you.Not only will you be located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will provide you with access to many of them.You can take advantage of visiting museums anytime you want—which means you'll never be bored on weekends.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining-hall food—something that happens to almost all of us—High Point University has a great option：a private steakhouse for students.Besides the cheap steaks, the campus also offers ice cream from a campus ice-cream truck，a movie theater and a shopping center.
