I’ve only been to the city a couple of times so far, but that’s because for some reason, my parents are kind of leery of the city so I grew up with a negative impression of it. As that’s wearing off, though, I’ve warmed up to the idea of going to the city more.

I agree with brebeuff that dorms often organize trips into Chicago that you can take advantage of if you want. Also agree with Sam Lee that Evanston has a lot of the things that people would go to the city for. Lots of shopping, restaurants, the movie theater…

That said, I do know at least one person who goes to Chicago all the time. Every single weekend he goes there and watches musical performances. OP, you might think this is the equivalent of going to museums, but if you’re into stuff like that, it really is fun.

And to answer your question, no, I don’t think it would be difficult to find a group of people who want to go to the city on a regular basis.
