Student regularly use this beach as an evening location to hang out, eat food, and listen to moody music. If you go during the daytime it’s a great place for homework or just chilling out.

Being in Chicago means you get extra perks like seeing the hottest flick before any of your friends. Movie studios regularly put out notifications for free film screenings that anyone can attend, just be sure to show up early as the house becomes full quickly.

4. Check Out The Chicago Design Museum

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!

5. Keep Warm At The Lincoln Park Conservatory

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!

7. Visit The Museum Of Science And Industry

Most museums have free days for the general public, and the Museum of Science and Industry is no different. Go on their website to find one to fit your schedule.

As a Columbia student you’ll automatically receive free admission to the museum. Why not take advantage of your tuition dollars and all the neat artifacts  simultaneously?
