#8. Visit Wonderlab
Wonderlab is a really cool interactive science museum - kind of like a mini version of the Children’s museum. They have live animals, science exhibits, and an entire room filled with bubble machines! Definitely still fun for college kids - and within walking distance from Kirkwood. It’s only $7, and $5 if you get a group.

Located on Kirkwood, Z & C Sushi and Terikayi is an under-appreciated gem of Bloomington nightlife. They’re conveniently located next to the bars, they’re open until 3am, and they’re ridiculously cheap (a big bowl of teriyaki and rice is only $5). The best drunk food you will find here.

#2. Kiss in the Rose Well House at midnight
An ancient IU tradition, going back to when boys and girls lived in separate dorms and had to sneak out to see each other. You’re not a true co-ed until you’ve been kissed in the Rose Well House at midnight!

#1. Watch the Art Museum lights at night
This is always one of the first stops on everyone’s bucket list. It’s so calming and pretty…and you definitely don’t want to be sober for it.
