Northern Illinois University (NIU)

Used to live close to the main street and thus went out several times a week. On your average day the best bar would be Molly's (typical american college sports bar)with nice atmosphere and packed with people mainly college kids. Amnesia Nightclub would be your after-hours place in the weekends with high energy and pulsing vibes. On thuesday's Starbusters and other greekroad frat' bars is a good alternative. NIU is what I consider a commuting college and a lot of kids leave DeKalb for the weekends. Therefor, travel as much as you can in the weekends, Chicago is only 45min away, but besides from having a car the only means of transportation from Dekalb to Chicago is the Greyhound bus.

There were quite a few bar which all offerred pool table and quite cheap bear. Places to go to are definetily The Barn which near the frats and sororitys and Starbuster which also a cool place. One should also visit DeKalb center to go the bars there, atleast once.
