WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CAMPUS HANGOUT SPOT AND WHY WAS IT SPECIAL?

UNO alumni and friends shared their voice and view for the Fall 2026 issue of UNO Magazine.

"I loved hanging out on the football field during home games with my brothers. Our fraternity Lambda Chi Alpha always shot off a small cannon every time UNO scored a touchdown. This tradition was done for over 20 years. Great memories!”

“We had "THE SHACK", It was a rather small building built of wood back behind the original building housing The Municipal University of Omaha. You could get coffee and snacks, but more importantly it was the center of activity for the students. Remember we had only the original building, the Field House and the new Library on campus. You would go there to drink coffee and smoke cigarettes before class, between classes and after class to see what was new and going on. Without this wonderful place, I probably would never have graduated.”

“The Gateway office! We basically lived there so we could meet deadlines and publish the student newspaper! Best years of my life 2001–2006!”

"The Dundee Dell was about a block from my best friend's house just south of 50th and Dodge, where we studied evenings together upstairs in his bedroom. For a "break" we would go up to the Dell for a drink; sometimes fish and chips, have a conversation and listen to the latest "hit" on the juke box. The atmosphere, the people (college students), the camaraderie, the 60's!! Talk about the good old days!! Good times!"

“My favorite hangout spot was the Midlands Sexual Research Collaborative (MSHRC) lab. Cool people, fun vibes, surrounded by condoms and so many couches!”

“Barbara Weitz Community Engagement Center. It was inclusive of nonprofit organizations and helped me build my future career as a professional in the nonprofit sector. I made friends and had many memories there.”
