A Night on Kirkwood

When you live on campus, you will soon discover that there is only so much you can do in the residence halls. After renting every season of Seinfeld twice from the Music, Movies and More, and stalking the Hooiser cafe , you tend to yearn for an adventure outside of campus. A short bus trip, or walk, will lead you to the rustle and bustle of the local shoppes and eateries on Kirkwood.

Just past the Sample Gates are eccentric boutiques and quaint restaurants - all which are a part of the Kirkwood experience. If you're looking to find trendy apparel for cheap, you can hit up Urban Outfitters or Pitaya. Wanting to find a particular album or record, visit Tracks record store that has a vast collection of music the old fashion way. They have even added an extended array of IU apparel that is a lot cheaper than the merchandise found at the Varsity Shop and the Indiana Memorial Union.

If its food you need, look no further than the several local and franchise restaurants at your disposable. Jimmy John's specializes in quick service with their sub sandwiches; and Noodles & Company is a great late-night snack before you return to campus. In addition to these two is the local favorite Village Deli, which offers breakfast, lunch and dinner anytime of the day. Have a haughty omelet, or enjoy a hearty hamburger and fries.

At Kirkwood, it's your choice, your adventure. Plan ahead or make it up as you go along. The night is young.
