Most residence halls provide academic and social events as well as host programs to acclimate incoming students to the college experience. While Greeks do offer some social events, many residence halls also host their own events. Alcohol policies are strictly enforced. The student center (the Davis Student Commons Building) includes a fitness center overlooking the St. Johns River, a [[Chick-Fil-A]], and a game room for all campus community members, while serving as a focal point for campus life. The facility opened in October 2006. Student life at Jacksonville University includes a diverse range of activities and organizations. There are multicultural, arts, political and social action, service and professional, religious, sports and recreation, academic and professional, and special interest groups. There are a variety of campus ministries on campus.<ref>[http://www.ju.edu/departments/studentlife/campusactivities/ministries.aspx] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527111626/http://www.ju.edu/departments/studentlife/campusactivities/ministries.aspx|date=May 27, 2010}}</ref> In 2011, another campus ministry, the Campus to City Wesley Foundation, started meeting at JU.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://campustocity.org/|title=Campus to City Wesley|access-date=17 August 2015}}</ref> Campus media organizations include the student newspaper (''The Navigator''), campus radio station (JU108), literary and arts magazine (''The Aquarian''), student-run broadcasting station (Dolphin Channel), and yearbook (''The Riparian),'' which stopped its publication in 2010. Jacksonville University's Student Government Association serves the needs of the student body as a whole by electing representatives from the university's student organizations, residential communities and colleges. The ''Florida Leader'' magazine ranked JU as having the third-best positive student life experience out of the 28 private colleges and universities in the state, citing its small campus size, peer and faculty relationships, and the close-knit campus community.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
