Around Town

Anything cheap and doesn't involve too much physical/mental labor is fun when you're a college student.

The city is amazing. Visit the Crossroads on First Fridays

The student life center will obtain free tickets to the movie theater, ballet center, Renaissance Festivals, zoo, and other activities. Limited tickets though so first come first serve. A five minute walk will take you to the plaza where there are stores and tourist attraction sites. Westport is a fifteen minute walk and there are many different restaurants and bakeries. The school is sandwiched between two amazing fine arts and contemporary arts museums. There's a basket ball court on campus as well as a tennis court by the plaza.

There are plenty of good bands that come to play in Kansas City. The Plaza is a great place to walk around and shop as well as the Westport district. Usually there are people outside on the greenspace of the school playing games or doing yoga.

Clubs, city life, and the local arts and music scene make for a college experience unique to Kansas City.

There isn't a whole lot of down time with assignment due-dates, but the location of the school makes a night on the Plaza easily accessible (Or Westport, if you're old enough).

Short distance from fun night scenes like Westport and the Power and Light District. Always an active art city with events like First Friday Gallery openings and open mic nights on campus for students.

There are unlimited opportunities--art museums, theatres, bars, museums. The school is in a great part of town

check out the westport music scene, or do lunch and shopping in the plaza.

most of us live in studio, but there are quite a lot of parties nearby. there is also an art district of town where there are tons of galleries you can go to. there is an outdoor plaza with shops and restaurants within walking distance, but it can be difficult to do many other things if you do not have a car.
