As the days of spring quarter come to a close, many students are preparing to leave campus. Some students will be leaving for good because of graduation or transferring schools.
Although these folks have spent most of their college career working toward leaving campus, there are still some things they can do on and off campus before they leave Cheney behind.

Touch Roos Field

While most students have attended football games during their time at EWU, they may have not had the experience of stepping onto the same red turf where several football and rugby games have been played over the last three years.

Even if it is just a moment, students should step onto the field. They can play a game of football with their friends or just reach down and touch the red blades of artificial grass.

Visit Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge

Students who have spent most of their college careers staying mostly in Cheney may have not had time to venture to the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge.

The refuge encompasses over 18,000 acres, according to the refuge’s website, and students will more than likely encounter several types of wildflowers and water fowl.

Bowl a late game at Cheney Lanes

Cheney Lanes at Rosa’s Pizza is open until 2 a.m., which means students who are looking for an alternative to going out to the bars or restaurants can pick up a late game of bowling. On Friday and Saturday nights, there is 99 cent bowling from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Players can grab a slice of pizza and some soda, or play arcade games while they are waiting for their friends to finish a frame.

Sing karaoke at Eagle’s Pub

Students who have been out to Eagle’s Pub on Saturday nights may have had the experience of hearing their favorite songs being butchered by patrons.

Those who plan on spending one last Saturday night at the pub should gather their courage and sing a song.

Karaoke may be intimidating, but all someone needs to do is pick a song, whether it is by themselves or with their friends, and belt it out as loud as they can. Even if they do a terrible job, the rest of the bar will most likely give them an ovation.

Play on the red piano in the PUB

Inside of the PUB is the red piano that occasionally has students playing on it.

Anyone who has been itching to take a seat and play, whether it is striking one of the keys or playing a full melody, should take some time and attempt to play one of their favorite songs.

However, it is perhaps best to play when there are only a few people in the lobby, so as not to disturb anyone trying to do homework.

Buy a piece of EWU merchandise

Before students leave campus, they should stop by the bookstore and pick up a souvenir or two for themselves or their family that will remind them of their days at EWU.

If students are looking for something besides clothes, there are several items including coffee mugs, beer glasses and license plate frames they can take back home.
