Nevermind the expansive cornucopia of drugs. At least when I was at Madison in the late 90s/early 00s, the amount of mushrooms, ecstasy, and acid available was just insane. Plus pot, but that hardly counts.

Fake post. happy hours are banned? That’s the best bs you got?

What isn’t open on Sunday. I would only think locally owned restaurants and boutiques would close. I’m in nova and that’s the case here. Also malls and restaurants here (and I presume almost everywhere) also have limited hours on Sunday.

DC transplant posting from Raleigh. I went to happy hour this week and the only thing closed tomorrow is Chick-fil-a (damn you, Chick-fil-a!) and some smaller independent shops.

Stop. UW is a great school with top academics and an atmosphere that has something for everyone. There are people that drink and stupidly do drugs at colleges all over this country. The great thing about Madison is there is plenty of things to do. Skiing is about an hour away. Small little mountains for day trips. Colorado obviously has the best skiing. United does fly nonstop to Denver for those that like to head west for a short ski trip.

What about St Lawrence University in way upstate NY? Great access to skiing. Decent engineering program. No shortage of snow.

What? There are no blue laws anymore in Virginia, things are open on Sunday. I live in NOVA too. I have no idea what your babbling about with re to North Carolina, malls, and the UNC experience for the OP. If “you would think” that means you don’t know. I was in Chapel Hill two weeks ago, everything was open. Maybe you can start your own thread in Off topics since everything you’re talking about is off topic to the college forum and this particular thread.

Okay. Calm down. Didn’t mean to ruffle your feathers. Let me start by saying I DO agree with you. I meant.....

Everything is open on Sunday. In NC and in VA. If there is anything closed in NC it is no different than here in VA. For example, malls have limited Sunday hours in NC (and Va). Locally owned shops may be closed in NC (and Va). I only say “I would think” because I do not know every local business. There are ones here in the town of Vienna where I live now that are closed today, not because of blue laws but because they choose to. And some are open. I “would think” (sorry, I can’t be definitive) that there are some in Nc that hacpve that same flexibility.

I am just an anonymous person on the internet trying to offer a perspective. Sorry to offend you.

^^ same PP but the post I was defending was my only post. Now I should be offended. Start my own thread? I just made one comment.

I am from Chapel Hill and this is a completely bizarre post.

OP of "happy hour is banned." Yes, in North Carolina, the traditional happy hour is banned. Establishments are prohibited from offering any sort of specials or discounts on alcohol.

Heck, until recently, alcohol could not be sold on Sunday until after noon. Because apparently a Mimosa at 10:30 would trigger the collapse of civilization.

I'm hard-pressed to think of anything, even locally owned, that was closed on Sundays in DC. Lots of stuff closed on Sunday here. Or absurdly limited hours. The children's library doesn't even open until 1 pm on Sunday. Farmers market opens at noon. Places close at 4 or 5. I looked into kids swimming and gymnastics lessons on Sunday; nothing. No one offers classes on Sundays.

LOL!!!!!!! Your ignorance is hilarious and only reveals your weird bias against NC. Did you know that ...gasp...happy hour is banned in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont, too? Illinois just repealed the law in 2015, although they it’s still illegal to have two for one specials or all-you-can drink specials there. New York repealed its no-alcohol-before-noon-on Sunday just two years ago in 2016. Oh noes, I guess we can’t send the snowflakes to Brown or Harvard or Middlebury!!! Too southern! Too conservative!

Indiana University - Bloomington is a school he might love. It's a great college town and a good school (not as good as UNC, but good for a state school)

Mimosas are available every Sunday morning for the DCUM crowd. Look how civilized DCUM is. Frankly, I think most go straight to screwdrivers.
