The Cellar used to show all the Sox games, but I don't know about now.

August 21, 200916 yr im not going to tell you to expect anything only do what you need to do before you do what you want to do, because there are lots of things that get in the way of things you need to do

According to RowRow, thats all there is to do is drink. You sign up for class, and you get grades, but you just drink. Drink drink drink.

August 23, 200916 yr what to expect when you go to SIU? ......look into the "i'm drunk" thread. that's pretty much it.
August 23, 200916 yr Wait, people drink at college?! Zomg! Noes! SIU isn't any worse than most other schools.

It's a lot different than Chicago, you might have a bit of culture shock at first but you'll definitely learn to love it here, you can have a lot of fun in this city, that's for sure.
