My roommates love this one because it incredibly close to campus. Additionally, it’s open to the public throughout the entire year. Get inspired for free!

Chicago winters may keep you indoors, but if you’re looking for a little greenery head over to the Lincoln Park district to enjoy the conservatory. It’s open to the public all year round.

6. Walk Over To Michigan Avenue To Window Shop

Sure, you might be broke but that doesn’t mean you can’t dream about owning a real Valentino dress. Browsing the shops on Michigan Ave. is a delight all in itself. This is one of the most fun free things to do around Columbia College Chicago!
