What’s your favorite thing to do off campus? That’s easy. Every Thursday, my friends and I go to the Streets of London pub on J Street in Midtown. It’s an awesome day to go. We just kick back and listen to some classic rock. It’s more laid back than other clubs.

Where do you go for pizza? I’ve gone to Giovanni’s. They have good pizza, but Ink in Midtown has the best.

Do you know of any hidden secrets? Yes, there’s a sushi place on Howe Avenue that gives 50 percent off to students. I think it’s called Arigato. You can get two rolls for less than five dollars. It’s delicious and it’s very close to campus.

What’s your favorite thing to do off campus? Anything with a social atmosphere—like bars, the annual Jazz Jubilee or the monthly art walk.

Where do you go for nightlife? I like the Limelight and Blue Cue. Also a new bowling alley called Strikes in Rocklin. They have plasma screen televisions and a nightclub atmosphere and it’s open until 2 a.m.

What did you do when you were under 21? Hung out with friends, played games like Cranium.

What’s your favorite thing to do off campus? Shopping! I usually go to Arden Fair Mall or Downtown Plaza. I also like going to the movies at Century 14 or United Artists at Arden Fair.

What is the best thing about Sacramento? The diversity—culturally and ethnically. It’s also a good environment. There is a lot to do here.

Where’s your favorite place for cheap food? In-N-Out probably. And Chipotle. Also Johnny Rockets. Mountain Mike’s is good for pizza—they have a good selection of toppings.

What’s your favorite thing to do off campus? I like bowling, movies, going out to eat. I like the Elephant Bar and Arden Fair Mall. Also the Scandia Family Fun Center off of Route 80—they have go-carts, an arcade and bumper cars.

What’s the best thing about Sacramento? The diversity. Learning about different cultures. Living here opens you up to different experiences, different foods, different backgrounds.

Where’s your favorite place for cheap food? Definitely Taqueria Guadalajara on Fair Oaks Boulevard. You can get chips and salsa, a big burrito and a drink for less than seven dollars with your student ID.
