A Place for You

Sweet Briar is an intimate community. Our residence halls, dining hall, and community spaces are designed to bring people together. From studying to crafting, video games to club meetings, you’ll find your place here.

Pursue Passions

From special interest groups to multicultural communities, century-old tap clubs, and academic organizations, Sweet Briar students build the world they want to see.

We are writers, performers, athletes, and activists. We are citizen diplomats and mental health advocates. We celebrate our identities and create connections that stay with us long after we have left this special place.

If there isn’t a club that fits, you can always start a new one! Whether taking on a leadership role, or supporting as a member, there’s a place for you.
