For those who like to compete on courts and fields, but perhaps hung up their cleats or track shoes after high school, there are many opportunities to participate in club and intramural sports. Most work around class schedules, with evening competitions on well-lit fields in the fall and spring, and winter competitions in the many courts and other indoor facilities on City and East campuses. Bike riders will appreciate direct access to Lincoln’s extensive and award-winning paved trail system — there’s no better way to gain an understanding of this great college city than to spend some hours on its trails!

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln has a number of campus resources to provide support, counseling, and programs aimed at fostering mental health and well-being in our community. Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) has psychologists and licensed mental health counselors who provide programs and services to students. CAPS offers crisis care appointments, individual counseling, couples/partner counseling, eating disorder treatment, alcohol and drug resources, support groups and educational workshops. Students across campus also support mental health awareness through the Green Bandana Project, where anyone with a green bandana tied to their backpack has a resource card available with recommendations for campus programs.
