Whether kicking back with a great book or getting social time with friends, these spots are ideal locations for any PHC student.

Decked with comfy couches and ideally situated in the Barbara Hodel Lobby, the coffee shop is a great hangout spot for any student looking for a break.
2.Farris Wheel

3. Dorm Lounges
Every dorm has a unique atmosphere and decor. Named after the presidents' estates, the lounges provide a nice common area for students to hangout in. Students enjoy playing board games, watching movies, or just chatting. These lounges are a great place for students to relax and have fun with friends.

For students looking to get some sunshine but want to go somewhere out of the way, the picnic tables behind the library are a great spot. They overlook PHC’s green soccer field and are a quiet area.
5.Student Lounge
As the name implies, the student lounge is a great place for students to gather to play games like pool, air hockey, or Foosball.

There are a lot of chairs and couches to provide comfortable seating. The lounge is ideal for any get-together, small event, or movie night students want to have.
6. Gazebo
Also a great photo backdrop, the white gazebo overlooks Lake Bob and is a fun place to hang out. During events like dances or Faith and Reason, students like to venture to the gazebo with friends for a photo-op. Other times, students like to use it to meet their friends or for personal devotions.
7. BHC Steps
The Barbara Hodel Center has beautiful cascading steps and white columns, creating a perfect spot for students to sit and enjoy the nice weather. The BHC steps are also great because they overlook campus and offer great views of the breathtaking Virginia sunsets.

PHC's beautiful campus is designed to provide the best places for students to gather together and create long-lasting memories. Students also love to meet not just to socialize, but also to build each other up in prayer and love. This is just one great aspect of Christian community that PHC fosters in its student body.
