If you think about it, former president George W. Bush was a college pioneer. He was one of the first to take the college experience out of the library and classroom and place it upside down atop a keg of cheap beer. (Full disclosure: City Pulse could not confirm Bush was one of the first college students to perform a keg stand).

These days, it seems college students are far too consumed with themselves. It’s not their fault, completely. With paper deadlines, part-time jobs, socializing and trying not to kill your roommates, time goes as fast as a six pack at the frat house. But chances are, you have a little time each week when you’re not doing a thing.
Having a car on campus isn’t the best idea. Gas, money, tickets, the possibility of DUIs and towed cars are all reasons to leave your sweet ride behind. Now that we’ve said that, you’re going to ignore it all and drive your 4-MPG Americanmade truck monster everywhere because of your contempt for nature and your fear of snowflakes.
So, all your 21 and over friends (or, those illegally in possession of a fake) are heading out to the bar and you’re left sitting in your dorm room. Don’t worry; it’s not the end of the world. While you may not be able to enjoy the bars just yet, there is plenty of fun to be had if you’re not of age.
After the cost of tuition, housing and books, your pockets are feeling the pain. Add a campus crowd looking for fun, and money may become an issue. But to the activities expert, Lansing isn’t as expensive as it seems. The city can be haven for free or nearly free activities; it just takes a little research.
Like it or not, you’re going to have to crack a textbook at some point this semester, even if it’s just to make good enough grades to keep the party going. Dorms are full of distractions, so here’s a look at where to go when you need to get away from the Xbox or your roommate’s ongoing break-up saga and actually get some work done.
