When you step off campus what do you see?

The few blocks surrounding campus offer a variety of restaurants, cute coffee shops, and other essentials, like drugstores and a couple of grocery stores. A few blocks east, you see beautiful Lake Michigan! I personally love going to the 57th Street beach in the warmer months--and yes, it is just like a real beach, minus the saltwater smell! To the south, things get a tiny bit dicier, but most students don't have a reason to go there.
