Around Town

Something interesting that goes on for fun in the cafeteria is that there is almost always a ps4 connected to the television where students play each other in between classes, listen to music, and socialize. In addition, Millennium Park is near Harold Washington and it's super fun to go to the park over the summer with a group of friends and just enjoy the weather.

look at the events board on the first floor and see what organization or student group is throwing a meet and greet.

you can join the clubs or group activities that the campus has. if you're interested in video games/sports/drama/art/etc.

Downtown chicago is a lively scene with numerous activities to keep you busy, which provides a break from all of that hard studying.

There are a variety of activities at Harold Washington. There is a national honor society called Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) and different clubs such as creative writing, open mic, and the art club. These clubs gives students experience to find their interests and learn more about themselves. Extra Curricular activities always good for college students because it shows they have an open-mind toward new things and it also shows that they are well-rounded.

I heard they have groups and different stuff there but im still kind of new there.

It's in downtown Chicago... what can't you do!?! You can go across the street to the nail shop if you have a big break between classes or just go relax at Dunkin Donuts across the street. You could even walk to the bean in Millennium Park and relax if you'd like. You are downtown so the possibilities for fun are endless.

Not. a.thing. Go home or take yourself somewhere else for that. Fun is very limited at this school. It's best to just come here to learn and leave as soon as your classes are over.

Check out a show and Second City. Check out a show at Millennium Park. There is ice skating in the winter and music shows in the summer.

Because the school is located in an urban enviroment, you will have access to night clubs, pubs/bars, restaurants, concerts ( McCormick Place, Rosemont, The Chicago Threatre, etc.). There are many theatres for movie entertainment also.
