Around Town

There are a lot of different activities and events going on in downtown and midtown Detroit all the time for students to go to. There are almost always good shows nearby in venues like the Fillmore Theater, St. Andrews Hall, The Majestic Theater, and The Magic Stick in downtown Detroit. Comerica Park is close by so students can go catch a Tigers Game. CCS is also near the Fox Theater and they show different kinds of plays there all the time. During Memorial Day weekend there is Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF), where a lot of people attend. Around this time there is a large Jazz festival in Detroit also. The DIA, African American Museum, the Detroit Science Center, and the Detroit Historical Museum are all in walking distance to CCS and are good places to visit. Belle Isle is an interesting spot to visit in Detroit and they have a conservatory, aquarium, nature center, swimming beach and a lot of open park and area to walk around. This is a good place to visit in Spring and Summer when the weather is nicer in the year. Detroit also has Campus Martius in the downtown area where there are a lot of shops and restaurants and it is a fun place to walk around. It also has open ice skating in the winter. Greek town is a fun place to visit on the weekend, and there are a lot of good restaurants in that area. There are also local art galleries in the area which are good for students to check out also.

Make art, of course!

The detroit institute of art! (you get in for free with your CCS ID) Tigers baseball games and Joe lewis Arena are nearby as well as Wayne state's campus so you can meet more people! The detroit science center, Museum of contemporary art Detroit, Detroit Historical museum, many resturants and there is almost always something going on on campus or in Midtown.

If you are on the Ford campus, you are in the center of the museum district of Detroit. There is so much to do right out your doorstep. The teachers will tell you of upcoming events that you can go to. On the campus itself, they do a good job at keeping the kids out of trouble. When they are not doing their homework, there is always a club activity or a guest speaker going on. Even before the semester started, they had activities to get the kids out of their dorms and into the community.

There's a few things to do on campus like table tennis, billiards, and basketball (Thursday nights for basketball). Off campus there's clubs assuming you're old enough, parties, and the Detroit Zoo is a good attraction as well when the seasons permit.

There are some side activities and groups like the soccer team, flag-football, paintball, and many other small groups. You can even make your own group with the school board's permission. There is plenty to do in downtown Detroit, but please be careful.

There are a lot of things around campus. Wayne state is a few blocks upstreet, so you can always walk to that campus to hangout. The D.I.A and Science Center are also right by CCS and we can get into the D.I.A for free.

There is everything from free movies to see for students to sign up for, too many clubs and outing events from go-carting, paintballing club, as well as videogame club and game artists who want to invite as many to join in and relax from the stresses of homework once a week, clubs range from transportation to fashion to live action films. The sky is the limit with College for Creative Studies.

School does not offer a whole lot of fun activities since people are usually working on coursework. Sad truth. Student Exhibition Opening at the end of the year is awesome fun though. I didn't attend my freshman year and wish I had. And it's always just fun looking in the hallways throughout the year at all the amazing artwork.

umm, it's detroit. and i am usually too busy to do anything except watch movies or play video games.
