The Top 10 Things To Do In West Campus, Austin
West Campus is a center for student living in Austin. You can find this neighborhood of apartment high-rises and fraternity houses directly west of the University of Texas. Of course, there’s more that draws in the young residents than easy access to the library. This neighborhood is packed with late-night entertainment, trendy coffee shops, and delicious food. You don’t have to be a student to enjoy West Campus. This list showcases the top things to do in Austin for visitors and locals alike.
Swing Dancing at the Fed
Austin Swing Syndicate hosts a swing dancing night at the Texas Federation of Women’s Clubs Mansion every Thursday night. Everyone is welcome, and no experience is required. The event starts at 8pm and goes on until midnight. Beginners can learn the swing dancing basics at a free lesson starting at 8:15pm. Once you’ve brushed up on your skills, head into the main ballroom and dance the night away. No partner? No problem. The community is very welcoming, and you can usually find someone willing to share a dance. Some nights feature a live band to add to the fun.
