The Loop

The Loop sign

Wherever you are on campus, you're close to the Loop. Vayhinger Loop circles most of Taylor's buildings, and it's the source of a few particular Taylor traditions, including...

Walking the Loop

If a girl and a guy do this, people like to think that means a DTR is happening. This is not always the case, so don't assume! Walking the Loop is a good way to have a conversation without being interrupted, and while getting exercise at the same time. On warmer days, you might see a lot of people doing this.

A Night on the Loop

During Parents' Weekend, Taylor hosts a dinner and dessert fellowship time for students and their parents. Last year, it was a three-part event:

1. Taste of Taylor- Food in Hodson Dining Commons, with music and art, as well as "multiple entree stations" in the lower part of the DC
2. Art, Music, and Dessert on the Loop- Just what it sounds like: dessert stations in the Galleria and by the Sammy statues, with art and music by students and faculty on display
3. Evening of Praise- Worship time for parents and students, with student bands leading the songs

Running the Loop

At all times of the day, you're likely to find someone running or jogging the Loop. Since it's about a mile around, it's perfect for it. Sometimes, you might even find someone walking their dog or pushing their child in a stroller. The more hardcore runners will even run the Loop in very cold weather--and they're the only ones, to be sure!
