Around Town

Hang with friends. There's something to do almost every weekend on campus once school starts up but off campus life is pretty barren unless you or a friend has a car to travel in Rockford. Beloit has a movie theater and a bowling alley and all other town necessities but the appeal or the need to leave campus just isn't their most of the time. Clubs and Greeks life provide pretty good entertainment much of the time.

Gaming, craft, and hobby clubs, playing video games in the lounges, taking a walk to the poetry garden, seeing school and independent student plays, walking down to the bar or Bushel & Peck's for some locally-raised burgers or cheese sandwiches, playing ultimate Frisbee with some friends on the quad, having spontaneous silent raves in front of Commons just before dinner, wrestling in swimming pools full of Jell-o, making snow fortresses using recycling bins to make snow bricks, watching movies while playing the Mustache Game, kicking apart pieces of wood at the Beloit Martial Arts Club, drinking wine inside of a pillow fort, or whatever else comes to your mind or those of your friends'.

Close to Chicago!

See my tips for prospectie students, but also keep in mind that your social life will be what you want it to be. So, make good friends and start your own party!!

The campus has many opportunities for fun events: parties, club meetings, campus-run outings, volunteering and social gatherings. Although alcohol can be a problem on campus, there are lots of activities that don't require alcohol.

clubs, sports, plays, music (to hear or to play), hanging out at coughy haus (the student-run pub), monthly formal dances, weekly informal dances, games nights, free milkshakes every other monday, movie nights, and more...
