Local bars welcome back college students with specials
In case you overslept, it’s apparently time to go back to school. That’s right, break’s over for the college crowd. Time to hit the books. Luckily lots of local venues want to ease your winter quarter blues with some great back-to-school parties this week. Just get your homework done first.
Welcome Back Fest at c{space
We’re not sure who leaked the secret to Dayton Campus Connect that college students like free stuff, but the cat is out of the bag. Take advantage by attending a free “Welcome Back to Dayton” concert just for college students. In addition to music by Bonneville and the Jay Walkers, area businesses will be on hand giving out free stuff, deals, and info on what Dayton has to offer. Plus it’s a great chance to mingle with students from other campuses.

WHEN: 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21

Back to School Bash at Atmosphere
Elite Management is throwing another back-to-school party, similar to last weekend’s bash at Dixie Cowgirls (check out our pictures at www.ActiveDayton.com/photos). You know the theme - naughty school girl. But the price tag - $5 all-you-can-drink until midnight - is the real reason to brave the cold. You don’t actually need a college ID for this one, and since the age restriction is 18 and up for girls, 21 and up for guys, actually being a student doesn’t seem to be required.
