Board Games and Pool Table

If you are looking for a game to play with friends or your student organization, come to Rocky’s to check one out. There is a wide selection of board games to play, from classics like “Candy Land” to newer hits like “One Night Ultimate Werewolf.” To check a game out you just need to talk to the cashier and have your student ID. Games can be taken out of the space, around the building, or back to your room. They just must be returned before Wilson Commons closes. If Rocky’s is closed and you need to return a game, call the Campus Center Building Manager (585-329-9093).

Reserving Rocky's Sub Shop & Lounge

Whether you want to host a viewing party, board game night, or any other type of event, Rocky’s is a great place to do so. With ample space and easy to use technology, Rocky’s is a flexible and high traffic area for your event. Reserving Rocky’s has no cost and works very similar to reserving any other student life space. The student organization or department is responsible for cleanup of food, garbage, and any decorations. If there is any damage to the space, furniture, or excessive cleaning required after the event, the student organization or department will be charged. Rocky’s cannot be reserved outside of its normal operating hours.
