Who knew summer school could be this much fun?
“I stayed in Champaign one summer with three friends in the apartments behind Station. In what I recall as a near-nightly routine, we would walk to a nearby liquor store on Green; pick up a handle of Ron Diaz rum, the poor man’s Captain Morgan, and a 2-liter of Diet Coke; return to our apartment; and pregame with pretzels and cream cheese" says Julie Bensman ('06), now a Los Angeles-based TV host, writer and producer.
“Then around 10 p.m., we’d mosey down to the now-defunct Station Bar courtyard and drink vodka/Red Bulls in the humid summer night air.
“It was summer, drinks were $1 and class started at noon the next day.
"Life. Was. Good.”
