The death of the college bar?

[FunkMonk]

Meh, the kids are doing what they want. Let them have fun in their own way.  They'll still get pissed drunk, just not at a bar.

Bunch of old cranky bastards here. Honestly.

You're missing the point of being a grown up.

How swiftly you'd withdraw that statement, if you but saw the belles of Martin, TN!

Not an impressive bunch, but for a normal dude who has a libido they'll do.

London Metropolitan University is considering an alcohol ban on campus out of cultural sensitivity as 20% of its students are Muslim. The vice-chancellor said, "It may be ‘nostalgic’ to suggest most students still want to have drunken nights out."

In unrelated news, London Metropolitan University is facing a ban on recruitment of overseas students as it issued visas to individuals who did not meet immigration requirements, and those currently studying there might be deported...

Wait 20% of its students are practicing Muslims?  But I guess that makes sense.  I would get the fuck out of Pakistan to.

The idea of university students going to bars is alien to me.  When I was in university, I didn't know anybody who went to a bar.  Students should study and get jobs.

Pregames often are single sex, with . . . women drinking vodka sodas or a peach-flavored Champagne called André

I thought getting into University was the big thing in Asia but once you got there you could finally cut loose a bit.  So that is not true?  When do you get to cease to be a humorless repressed person?

But I do not think you are being accurate here.  The Chinese students at UT are not really like this.

So you benighted Yuros know what's being discussed, a college bar is a privately owned bar in the town where the college is located, frequented by students.  A bar that is actually run by the college and located on the school grounds is called something like "the campus pub."

I used to drink so much André.

Of course that was because it was like $2.50 a bottle at the grocery store. Here in New York it is like $7.

Also, my pre-games typically involved straight men and women.

Call me a snob, but a former poly overseas-student fee-mill sucking up to muslims doesn't egg me up much.  But, seriously, a vice-chancellor who doesn't think that most students want drunken nights out doesn't get students.

This discussion could therefore be used as a case study in how sharing the same language can lead to mutual comprehension 

From my vantage point a University is divided into a number of colleges each of which will have its own bar, probably run by the JCR (undergraduates), perhaps with the assistance of professional staff. In addition the Student's Union will have a vast bar serving crappy beer. Pubs are, of course, public houses, ie private businesses that welcome anyone as customers. But then, I'm thinking of the arrangements at Durham, many/most? British Universities are not collegiate in structure, which is rather foolish of them but there it is.
