[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious what people specifically think there is to do in a large city for 18-22-year-olds that doesn't involve drinking and that wouldn't be available to their peers at a campus in a smaller town.[/quote]

My kid goes to college in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. She's been in school about a month - so far has gone to a Twins game, a few concerts, a museum, a sculpture garden, tried a bunch of different restaurants, saw a musical, and went to a zoo.  There's seriously so much to do, and I imagine there would be even more options in a city like Chicago or NYC. [/quote]

Similar to my DD’s experience in Chicago and mine in Boston.  In each case, a robust public transit system put lots of things in reach.  My kid’s more likely to go on a donut crawl than a pub crawl, LOL!  Another thing about cities vs college towns.  Bars in the former are much less likely to depend on the business of students, so have less of an incentive to look the other way wrt underage drinking.[/quote]
