Explore the dynamic city of Chattanooga, just 5 miles from campus. A thriving business district, shopping malls, visual and performing arts venues, a local IMAX, and abundant leisure activities make Chattanooga one of the nation’s most livable cities.


Dining Out
You will find dining hotspots that fit every budget and offer plenty of fun and excitement. These include local favorites such as Greyfriar’s Coffee (alumni-founded) and Clumpies Ice Cream (alumni-owned), as well as Mojo Burrito and Big River Grille. You can hang out with friends at Lupi’s Pizza or relax for a picnic at Coolidge Park.


The Arts

Many opportunities to enjoy the arts exist both on our campus and in the Chattanooga community. The College puts on art exhibits, theatre productions, and concerts throughout the year. In addition, many concert halls, art galleries and museums, and performing arts venues are only a short drive from our campus.

 

Sports and Recreation
On-campus sports range from competitive intercollegiate athletic teams to club sports to intramural competitions. You can show your school spirit by supporting Covenant’s 13 intercollegiate athletic teams for men and women. Our beloved Scots compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) - Division III and in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA). The majority of Covenant students participate in intramural sports, and there are plenty of off-campus sports opportunities as well, such as taking in a Chattanooga Lookouts baseball game or a Chattanooga Football Club soccer match.
