Around Town

Columbia lets its students enter programs besides their major as electives. A student can work on a wide variety of mediums to put their potential to its fullest use.

ANYTHING! You are in CHICAGO! See a show, go on a sight-seeing tour, explore the city, try new restaurants, go to industry events - anything is possible and everything is accessible.

Anything in the city! Jump on the red line or blue line and go anywhere in the city within minutes from where you are and enjoy the city life!

There are at least 700 concerts and recitals and art galleries/exhibitions and plays, etc s year JUST at Columbia. Not mentioning the fact that all US artists and performers stop in Chicago to perform and there are sports games to attend (I'm a Bulls fan). And there's the Navy Pier and Lake Michigan and so much more.

There are no sports and no parties. Sometimes they show movies and sometimes they have performances at the school. There are a bunch of broadway theaters around, that will give students discounts. Sometimes, there are shows with big artists around, but no where near the school. Other than that, there is just shopping.

Its Chicago, what cant you do for fun? There are tons of on campus clubs, not to mention the nightlife clubs, free art shows, free galas, free concerts, free movie screenings, free ice skating in the winter, etc. We like free.

Museums, art galleries, concerts and just being in the city makes for lots to do for fun. Just hanging out at the dorm or the University center with friends.

You're in Chicago there's plenty to do!

If you don't have a fake i.d there is not much that you can do if you aren't over 21. Otherwise, there are evens at the school.

There are all sorts of clubs and activities in which Columbia sponsors, not to mention it is in the heart of the city.
