Irish abroad student

heya. im an irish university student and im thinking about doing a year in an american college as part of my degree. I have a few options in colleges like university of miami, boston college and some others in south carolina and kentucy. At the moment boston college stands out for me. Any one who goes boston know not only about the education end of things but the social element also? im 20 so would be under the drinking age there, would I still be able to go out and have a few drinks, are the bars and clubs strict over in the states? there many parties around during the week? want to make sure i make the right decision acedemicaly as well as socially.

You won't have much trouble getting alcohol to drink at most US colleges, but you might have to "stay in" to get a drink rather than "go out." In other words, you can probably get plenty drink at college parties at frat houses and such, but most bars or restaurants in the US will not knowingly serve alcohol to an underage minor. They stand to lose their licenses if they get caught doing so.

You should post this question in the Boston College thread.

May I ask you a question? if a Boston College student were to study in Ireland for a year, which University would you recommend?

Queen's University Belfast
National University of Ireland, Galway
University College Cork
National University of Ireland, Maynooth
Trinity College, Dublin
University College, Dublin
