Learn more about Evanston

Between Lake Michigan's shoreline and Northwestern University's ivy-covered halls, this college town offers more than academic credentials. Catch live music at SPACE, an intimate venue that feels like a well-kept secret. The Halim Time & Glass Museum houses an astonishing collection that will recalibrate your appreciation. Lakefront paths invite morning jogs past Grosse Point Lighthouse, while downtown restaurants serve everything from student-budget fare to sophisticated cuisine. The Charles Gates Dawes House reveals local history in a mansion that would make Gatsby envious. When campus energy overwhelms, retreat to Dawes Park where benches face the water and Chicago's skyline provides a distant, glittering reminder of big-city proximity.
