Around Town

Hang out with friends, watch the plays by UE Theatre, play intramural sports. There is a lot of fun stuff on campus, you just gotta look for it.

Organizations, campus events, concerts, sporting events, skiing trips, etc!

There's not a whole lot to do unless you're 21. Movies, ice/roller skating, and a mall.

There is the Ford Center in Evansville where they have shows as well as the athletic department and other campus activities.

There literally is anything you can think of.

There is not a whole lot to do in Evansville on the weekends. Occasionally there may be an athletic event. However, if you do not have a car, it might make it a little bit difficult to get to the basketball games at the Ford Center.

There is ALWAYS something to do on the weekend.

The things to do for fun is dependent on how often you go off campus. On campus, they arrange events every now and then, or the greek life community will hold an event. They have movies every Thursday. There are plenty of places to play pool or something similar. You can always check out games or equipment for Frisbee or four square or something. Also, clubs and organizations have fun, if it's something you're interested in. If you go off campus, there are a lot of opportunities, such as parks, the mall, museums, the zoo, and movies.

SAB (Student Activities Board) usually has an event as least once a week for students. Events in the past have included brining a comedian to campus, movie nights, and special event nights just for freshmen. There are minor league hockey and baseball teams locally. Mall, movie theater, and most stores you could need are about 10-15 minute drive from campus.

The Residence Life Office and the Resident Assistants put together activities for the students living in their dorms every week or two. Every Thursday night a movie is shown either on an inflatable screen in the center of campus or in Eykamp Hall if the weather is too uncomfortable. Different organizations sponsor activities on the weekend such as fashion shows, talent shows, choral concerts, international bizarres (where ethnic food can be sampled from around the world), rollerblading, etc.. Off campus there are an ice-skating rink, several movie theaters, a zoo, and a large indoor rock climbing facility where people go on the weekends. Of course there are also parties, but most people partake in other fun activities that do not involve the raising of your blood alcohol level.
