Located directly across from Lake Michigan, Jones is dedicated to the spirit of creativity. All residents are interested in the arts, whether or not they intend to become professional artists. Activities at Jones include evenings with visiting writers, artists, and scholars and firesides on wide ranging topics of interest to residents. Performance hours are held every two weeks; these informal gatherings showcase student talent in everything from filmmaking and stand-up comedy to chamber music, choreography, and vocal performance. Theater productions and musical performances by residents and other students are held in Jones's sought-after performance space, the Great Room. Rolling Jones, a student-run literary magazine, publishes a variety of critical and creative work. The facilities in Jones contribute significantly to the programs of the college. In addition to common areas for studying, watching TV, and playing pool or Ping-Pong, Jones has seven music practice rooms, a darkroom, a computer room, and studio for art, ceramics, and dance. Jone's equipment holdings include three pianos (including two grand pianos), a few electric pianos, a MicroPro digital lightboard, and fully equipped digital recording facilities with a computer work-station for audio and video editing. The college sponsors a number of recreational events, including excursions to Chicago cultural attractions and restaurants, often with faculty.
