Assuming you aren’t super rich or a socialite, the nightlife in Ann Arbor is probably going to be better. NYC has perhaps the best clubs in the world, but there are no (normal) college students going to them. If you are a guy, cover in NYC nightclubs runs you $40-50 just for entry on the absolute lowest end, and more likely something like $200-500 in cover and/or minimum spend (minimum spend means you are charged that much money up front, and need to run your tab up to that minimum amount, or greater - definitely not ideal to spend that much on your nights out as a junior/senior in college). Also, NYC clubs are very unlikely to have nights where they let in under 21, and are very strict against fake IDs (if that is a route you were thinking you would take). Ann Arbor has a fantastic college nightlife scene. House parties (these range from low-key social gatherings to absolutely wild events out of a movie), Greek Life events, Football Saturday tailgates (technically not “nightlife”, but in the same spirit: these can get pretty big and wild too), Rick’s (collegiate version of a nightclub), Skeep’s (bar w/ dancing), LIVE, Cantina, Charley’s, and a bunch of other spots. Most of the bars are 21+, but some have 18+ events, and a lot of stuff like house parties and tailgates can be accessible 18+. Keep in mind drinking is not permitted until age 21, of course.
