I love
Washburn University! The school has small classes, a beautiful campus, and many
different ways to get involved. There is one thing that students do not like
about Washburn, and that is the schools location. Topeka, Kansas is not what I
would describe as a college town. Sure, there is Ichabod Spirit in the
community, however Topeka does not have the atmosphere of a college town. One
of the main reasons for this feeling is the lack of college student focused
activities. Many of the things to do in Topeka are either too pricy or simply
do not appeal to college students. This is the reason that I often overhear my
peers complain that there is nothing to do in Topeka, or that Topeka is a
boring place.
Although I
understand my peer’s complaints, I believe that Topeka has more to offer than
my peers would expect. Topeka has many local restaurants with cheap specials
perfect for college students. Also in Topeka, there is a cheap movie theatre, an
arts district, and local sports teams to cheer on! At first glance, it may
appear that Topeka does not have a lot of options in terms of entertainment for
college students. However, upon further examination and a little open
mindedness Topeka has a lot to offer! This blog will reveal to all Washburn students that there are
cheap, yet entertaining things to do in Topeka, Kansas.
