Most events are free to students. There are registered parties throughout the term that students go to, and Galesburg also has various shops, restaurants, and events that students visit.
Read MoreDowntown Galesburg is a really quick walk from us. We have tons of locally owned small cafes, Chinese food, and pizza. My favorite part is all the antique stores, there's nothing more entertaining to me than going down to the Antique mall every weekend when I'm bored or need a study break.

Read MoreThere is always something going on at Knox. There are so many clubs and people planning events that there is always something to do. Fraternities have registered parties, without alcohol so you can go and dance with your friends. Clubs and sororities put on food nights where you can pay money to eat food late at night, and all the money goes to a good cause. On Thursdays Fat Fish pub in Galesbrug hosts Jazz Night, which is a lot of fun. There are concerts and plays and readings all the time. The student activities group, the Union Board, plans events for every term that are always a lot of fun. They bring in comedians and movies and they bring students to ice skate and to go to museums or other places. Everything is cheap in Galesburg, so that's a major plus. There's bowling and ice skating and a movie theater as well.
