  • Sports Facilities for The Local Community

    Universitas Sumatera Utara understands the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle for students and the surrounding community. Most of the campus area, which includes parks, sports fields and green areas, is open for use by the general public. However, for use by other institutions or communities, ordering and maintenance fees are in accordance with policies set by the university. This facility can also be accessed by school students through the Junior Archery Training Center program organized by USU. We believe that sharing sports facilities with the local community is a good way to strengthen ties between the university and the surrounding community and promote healthy and active lifestyles.
