<p>Oh, I could write a book. </p>
<p>How long are you staying? You should make sure to eat on campus once if you can (I believe one dining hall will be open for the summer students, unfortunately not one of the best ones but still good food if its D2) just to get a feel for it. Otherwise my standard restaurant suggestions are Rivemill (burgers and tater tots, get. the. tater. tots), The Cellar for Greek pizza/pasta, Sycamore Deli for hot sandwiches, Sub Station 2 for cold sandwiches, and Souvlaki for Greek gyros, and El Rodeo for American-Mexican food.</p>
<p>There are other places too like Boudreaux which has an excellent high class beer selection and Cajun/French (? I think so anyway I hardly ever recall walking out of there) menu, Sharkeys which is a burger joint, and Jimmy Johns which is a sub chain if you don’t have it locally. Everywhere mentioned is around 5 minutes off campus walking in the downtown area.</p>
<p>For things to do there is the Lyric theater downtown which shows second run and independent movies. See what’s playing, it’s really cheap. A half hour or so off campus are the Cascades which is a really cool hike ending in a giant waterfall. Take some clothes you don’t mind getting a little wet if you want to go walk out on the rocks and stuff. There are other good hiking spots around the area too but someone else will need to fill those in.</p>
