The Coyote Chronicle made a set of what students could do for fun locally on a day off. “My friends and I don’t like to spend a whole lot of money, so usually if there's a deal we’ll go out. Mondays they have discounts over at BJs, like half off pizza, so we typically go there,” Anthony Langston, a biology major and fifth-year student at CSUSB. CSUSB students are very busy with managing school and work, that can take up the whole day, aside from other things such as babysitting or doctor appointments. “My typical day is either I’ll go to school all day or work. I have a lot of doctor appointments for my baby due in December. I also have to attend Navy drill here and there,” said … [Read more...] about Visiting Local Entertainment in and around the Inland Empire
