Around Town

Chicago, downtown Wheaton, studying....

Go to the gym to work out, ball, or go rock climbing. Hang out in the dorms and visit the sister floors or play retro video games (like Smash Bros). Walk to downtown Wheaton and get deep dish pizza at Gino's East. Take the train into Chicago and do Chicago things.

Hang out with friends, go to concerts (mostly free), go to downtown Wheaton, quick and easy trips to Chicago, Friday night improv shows, attend some late night lectures that you find interesting, go to plays/theater, talent shows, coffeehouses (performing bands), Nerf-gun wars, etc. . .

The college has a lot of activites and sporting events, especially over the weekend. But the campus is also right next to the railroad station and it is a very easy ride to downtown Chicago.

Los Burritos for sure- stuffing a bunch of college students in cars far beyond the legal capacity limit at 1 AM in the morning to go eat Mexican fast food is our idea of a good time. It's the only place where students from this Christian College and potential drug-addicts hang out under the same roof. The food tastes great, but is kinda sketch. There are rumors of Los cooks attempting to sell burritos with weed for 10 dollars.

There are so many activities to on campus for fun! It really depends on what you want to be involved in. We have many singing groups, clubs, and other things to enhance your time.

Lots of fun things to do on campus, like banquets and socials. Downtown Wheaton is also a really fun atmosphere.

As a Christian college, Wheaton College has no real party scene, but students seem to find their own ways of having fun through the culture of the dorms and the college in general. Location-wise, it is a 30-40 minute train ride into Chicago which places it far from the city where it's away from the busy-ness, but close enough where it isn't a hassle to visit.

Name what you want to do and you can do it. Being so close to Chicago makes it all possible.

My only problem with Wheaton is that there is very little to do in Wheaton itself. Although the major city of Chicago is very accessible.
