<p>Student’s don’t travel because they are too busy spending their weekends studying in their dorms.</p>
<p>Downtown is fun, but, IMO overrated. Then again, I come from a huge city much more exciting than Chicago, so I am biased.</p>
<p>It is mainly shopping and resturaunts. It is also where you’ll go to catch a movie (AMC River East and Lowes on Ohio). The nightlife district is just north, in Belmont and Lincoln Park. Downtown is pretty dead after 7PM, and entirely dead after 10PM. There is also Navy Pier, a fun place to just chill, although very touristy, and Millennium Park, a beautiful public park that is a great place for an afternoon stroll.</p>
