It may come as a surprise to some students that there's more to St. George than just hiking and going to a nearby movie theater.
Many students from Dixie State College feel the lack of entertainment St. George has to offer forces them to go elsewhere. They travel to Las Vegas, Salt Lake City or Mesquite on the weekends to be entertained.
Joshua Hunter, a freshman undecided major from Las Vegas, said he eats, hangs out with friends and goes to Las Vegas a lot to find things to do.
Camilla Leader, a freshman undecided major from Kingman, Ariz., and Alexa Kienlen, a freshman dental hygiene major from Powell, Wyo., both said they like to walk to the temple, go to LDS Institute dances, go on Denny's runs and go on random Las Vegas trips.
John Richardson, a sophomore business major from Draper, said, "I like to go repelling, camping and to Las Vegas."
Holden Green, a sophomore undecided major from St.George, said he and his friends spend most of their time playing "Bang," which is a card game where they try to hit each other with the cards. They also go to Denny's.
So, what exactly is there to do in St. George that doesn't require DSC students to flee to the nearest highly populated destination?
For ladies of any age in the St. George area and to any guy who likes to be pampered, there are six spas in the area: Green Valley, Red Mountain, The Body Shop, Ambience Salon, Elase Medical Spa and St. George Day Spa.
