Cheney, Washington is 4.1 square miles. In it sits a little college campus with the motto "Start something big." We Eagles love our little town, and you'll learn to love it to.

Go to a football game at The Inferno

Eastern is known for its football program. With 24 conference titles, a 2010 National Championship, and players going into the NFL, the team is exciting to watch on the bright red field! Bundle up in the winter months, the Inferno can get a little chilly.

Or catch a basketball game at Reese Court to watch the team that made the NCAA tournament last season.

EWU men's basketball won a huge upset game against Indiana last season, clinched the Big Sky Championship, made it to the first round of the tournament, while starter Tyler Harvey was drafted to the Orlando Magic.

Go for a hike at one of the many trails around Cheney.

When the weather warms up, the lakes fill with floaties and sunbathers.

If you get hungry, stop by any of the local restaurants located within walking distance from campus.

Rokko's has great teriyaki and fried rice. The Mason Jar has yummy coffee and bistro-style meals. El Rodeo has big burritos and even bigger fish bowl margaritas. And the shining gem of all our late night munchies, Zips, has the greasy burgers and sweet treats to satisfy the little kid in all of us.

Go for a drive on the backgrounds through the rolling hills.

Break free from the library and sit and watch the sun set over the hills behind the football fields.

Go to a concert.

EWU puts on a concert at no charge for students, and the latest performers have been Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Andy Grammar.

Learn something.

EWU hosts the largest undergraduate research conference in the nation. Students from across the world come to our little town to present their findings to judges.

Go ghost hunting.

Cheney is home to many old buildings with creepy backstories. Showalter Hall is said to have a ghost (a horror movie was even filmed in it) and ghost hunters have gone underground to investigate any paranormal activity. The "Dryden Demon" can be seen at night when the outside the residence hall when lights are turned on.

The little town of Cheney can seem boring at first, but find a few friends and go explore! And, if all else fails, you can go to Spokane, which is just a 15 minute drive away.
