  • NecessitiesLend-A-Wing Pantry gives out everything from peanut butter and cereal, to laundry detergent and paper. You can find them in Building 53 (Hicks Hall), room 1202.
  • Fitness Orientation– The gym can be a bit intimidating for many students. Luckily, there are five orientations that students can take advantage of: Novice Workout, Bodyweight Bootcamp, Playground Training, Crossprey Fit and Free Weight Workout. The Student Wellness Complex also offers yoga, pilates, kickboxing, spin and dance classes.
  • Sports Equipment– The Field House, located in-between the Student Wellness Complex and UNF Arena, supplies equipment rental for a variety of sports: volleyball, basketball, pickleball, and badminton. Students can pick them up with a Osprey 1 Card.
  • Condoms– The LGBT center offers a variety of condom brands and lubricants in its student lounge, so head over to the first floor of the Student Union East, room 1111. Now there’s no excuse for not practicing safe sex.
