American students push indulgence to the edge

“Maybe I had a hangover or two, but so what? Partying at night is what it’s all about.”

Say a 17-year-old Czech student goes to a club with a bunch of his friends one Friday night. Though the drinking age is 18 here, the student walks in, makes a comment to the bouncer, the two share a smile and he and his buddies are in.

Now imagine this with a 17-year-old American testing his luck at a bar in the heart of New York. The bouncer takes one look, spots the fake ID, rips it in half and hands it back. So it will go for the next four years.

Sports offerings win over just a handful

Students at Anglo American University have better opportunities than ever to play football or basketball (even if they seem uninterested in aerobics), thanks to the efforts of the Student Council and a budget of 60,000 Kc.
Every year the council organizes leisure activities, where students can get know each other better. That is especially good for new or exchange students who are visiting AAU for just one semester.
