The week of Oct. 12 was LinX’s grand opening, but it was only open evenings, leaving the majority of students outside of the party.
Et Cetera’s request for an interview with Chris Shimoji through Andrew Leopold, associate director of communications, was left unanswered as of press time.
Even with the new opening, some students were still pining for Caps and resistant to the change.
“This place is nice, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not the atmosphere of Caps,” said Matt Graves, 21, a recent grad of the HVAC program at North campus, who was visiting with friends.
Students identify LinX with a new look.
“I think they’re going for more of a club scene,” said Piotr Dzumbelak, 21, a second-year marketing student. “The older people got used to Caps. All the new kids like it, it’s like you don’t know any better.”
Dzumbelak later added, “It’s two different environments, from a pub to club.”
Several other students loved the new space and can’t wait until LinX is completely open.
“The whole place is just pretty sweet,” said Mat Waghorn, 21, in his second year. “I like it better than Caps for sure.”
Chuck O’Bannon, 19, a second-year culinary management student, agreed with Waghorn, citing the new pool tables, new TVs and the beer on tap.
