Q: What is your favorite part of
Homecoming Week?
The main event
What is better than a homecoming
football game? If the game isn’t enough
fun, watching all the alumni go back to
their glory days definitely is.
— Meredith
The allure of fire
I miss summer evenings, sitting
around a camp fire and staring at the
flickering flames. I look forward to
getting that feeling back by relaxing
around the bonfire with good friends
Friday night.
— Nina
The football game
The whole week leads to the football
game, and it really is the best part
of homecoming.
— Grayson
We float
My favorite event is the parade.
Grab a U-Haul and a couple couches
and you have yourself a float.
— Blake
March on
Living on Greek Row, I’ve always
really enjoyed watching everyone
march through campus during
Serpentine. The band makes it especially
great.
— Savannah
No place like home
My favorite thing to do for homecoming
is to go home.
— Andrew
Sporting spirit
The best part of homecoming is
hands down the football game. The
Vandal spirit can be felt in the air
all weekend.
— Tea
The game
Watching football games aren’t my
favorite pastime, but watching the
game is a must for all Vandals.
— Kyle
Light the fire
I’m a sucker for campfires, so
I look forward to sitting near the
flames and talking to people I probably
don’t know.
— Max
No rest for the wicked
It’s going to be a fun weekend
filled with lots of excitement and
marching. That being said, it will be
nice to take some time to rest Sunday.
— Joleen
Flashy tunes
Listening to music and having it
displayed in a creative way is one of the
best things ever. Go to the Tower Lights
show, you won’t be disappointed.
— Lindsay
I-D-A-H-O
I’m so excited for Serpentine with
the marching band. Follow that up with
a bonfire and fireworks? Perfect.
— Mihaela
My religion
Sleeping, especially during
homecoming.
— Griffen
That feeling
The leaves are turning, the air is
crisp and it just smells like Vandal
spirit. The whole week makes me think
of how happy I am to be at UI.
