Monday: Cue‘n Cushion (319 Bank St.):
If you’re a pool shark or just have a hankering for snooker, the Cue n’ Cushion is a great place to satisfy your pool fix. The Cue is open late every night and allows minors to stay past 9 p.m., unlike other pool bars in Ottawa.
It’s a great way to blow off steam after a night of studying. To get there, hop on route 7 and get off at the Bank and Somerset intersection. The Cue is one block south, between Barrymore’s Nightclub and Babylon Nightclub.   

Ritual Nightclub (137 Besserer St.):

Love it or hate it, every full-time student at Carleton pays for and receives OC Transpo’s U-Pass, which offers unlimited bus and O-Train access for the fall and winter terms.

There are four bus routes that run through Carleton’s campus. Bus routes 4 downtown, 4 Hurdman, 7 Carleton and the O-Train run seven days a week while the 111 Hurdman runs Monday to Friday.

“Go a bit out of your comfort zone. Honestly, if you manage to hit it off with someone, you just made a friend. If not, it’s frosh. You’re probably not going see them ever again.  Also, go to every party/event your friends invite you to. Friends can be made through friends.”
