Welcome to VC Fit, Vassar’s nutrition, exercise and general health blog. We’re creating your one-stop online source for student wellness at Vassar College.
Staying healthy at school is definitely a hassle; the demands of a Vassar education—in and out of the classroom—leave very little time for the gym and a good diet. We also know there are a lot of places to find information about healthy living, but these sources aren’t written with college students in mind, who are away from home and on a meal plan. VC Fit hopes to makes things as simple and Vassar-relevant as possible, providing you with the information you need to stay healthy in a format that’s easy-to-use and relevant to your lifestyle.
We’ll provide you with information on:
- Dining Hall Nutrition
- Local, affordable and healthy eateries
- Overviews and guides of Vassar fitness facilities
- Multimedia how-tos on proper use of fitness equipment
- Debunking myths about your favorite foods in our weekly “College Student Staple” feature
- Workout guides from VC athletics coaches and trainers
- Featurettes on the In-The-Pink classes
- Updates from the Vassar College Food Committee
- College-style commentary on national health concerns
But most importantly, we want to hear from you! VC Fit would love to answer any questions you have about healthy living at Vassar College. So, leave a comment and tell us what you want to know—we’ll be sure to answer it in an upcoming post! Thanks and healthy wishes!
