I really like the people here and I think that we have some of the best people around, being so close to Chicago. However, I would like to see some local spots to hang out for college students, other than the actual colleges themselves.

The community is very kind but it may be hard to find things to do. The parks in the neighborhood are very beautiful and the houses are very comfy looking, but you may need a car if you want to find something interesting to do or to eat.
