Washington University Residential Life

Happy #FridayFunFact everyone! Did you know that Ursa's on the 40 was created in the fall 2003 as the hub of all things entertainment for WashU students? At the inauguration of Ursa’s Night Life, acapella group @mosaicwhispers and comedy group @mprimprov welcomed students into the cafe-turned-night club themed student space! Designed as a center for alternative, student-led programming on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, Ursa’s is one of the most flexible spaces we offer... here at WashU. Student groups can reserve Ursa's Stageside and Ursa's Fireside for a variety of events, such as Laser Tag, Karaoke, Movie nights; with one event EVERY WEEK, the list goes on and on! And if no one has reserved the space, grab some friends and go to Ursa's to study, hang out, whatever you want! The floor is yours, WashU, so make sure to check out @ursasnitelife for more information #livewashu @ Ursa's See more
