If you’re an incoming student to the University of Wisconsin-Madison or in your last semester here, you’ll never get board here. Unlike our reputation, not everyone wants to party every weekend. Here are some of my favorite non-partying night time actives.
- Grab a group of friends and treat yourself to a nice dinner
Weather you live in the dorms or off-campus, you deserve a break from your normal routine. Have breakfast for dinner (try short stack, Basset Street Brunch Club, or go off campus to Monty’s Blue Plate diner) or some amazing ethnic food (Cento, Red, or Ha Long Bay off campus)
2. Rent a Movie!
Head to Badger Ally, Quick Trip or Fresh and grab a some movie snacks and cozy up on your bed.
3. Get ahead on your homework
