What to do with your free time is a constant question for many college and university students. Often times when I talk to friends about their respective schooling experiences sometime during the conversation they say something similar to “There’s not much to do in..insert city name” Every time I hear an exclamation like this I find my self wondering if these people are just not aware of what’s available around them.
Every city I’ve ever been to is immersed in a culture and opportunities unique to the area. I’ve found that the college arena holds many opportunities for to partake of sports, activities, service, movies, plays, concerts, etc. Since my first semester at BYU-Idaho I’ve been continually amazed at the opportunities to be involved as well as the wide variety of entertainment and activities available.
Not only do we have wonderful concerts, stage plays and musicals but we also have a bi-weekly classic movie night, monthly foreign film night, as well as various Center Stage performances where the school brings in a wide variety of performers and entertainers, dance concerts, etc.
To anyone who says that there’s nothing to do where they’re currently stationed – to you I say to you, look around you buy a $3 ticket and go enjoy some culture!
