<p>I'm road tripping it down to Austin with about 15 other architecture students from Feb.28 to Mar.2, and we rented a cabana near campus. We're from Winnipeg and are checking out a Landscape architecture conference at the University.</p>
<p>It'd be wicked to experience some of the college party atmosphere, any suggestions on where to go/what to do??</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Go back to Canada, and take Justin Beiber with u. Jk. But no I don’t know of any</p>
<p>Haha, we don’t want him!
Any recommendations on places/pubs to check out while we’re down here? Spending the whole Friday on campus.</p>
<p>Anywhere on 6th street is fun!</p>
<p>If you want a hamburger, go to hopdoddy. It is amazing. Get the goodnight. It is on south congress, free parking garage. There will be a line to get in and it is well worth the wait. </p>
<p>I live in austin and go there a lot. They also have a bar. </p>
<p>And torchy’s tacos. Get a trashy trailer park. </p>

<p>This is on UT campus <a href=“Cactus Café & Bar | University Unions”>Cactus Café & Bar | University Unions;
<p>US drinking age is 21. People looking younger than 40 are asked to show IDs. </p>
<p>Solid. We’re all over 21, just looking for a party on or near campus. </p>
<p>I’m guessing its tough to get into any sort of dorm party without an affiliation to the University eh?</p>
<p>Dorms parties are not allowed. UT entertainment events are usually organized
either by UT Housing, and since most of students living on campus are 18-19 y.o. freshmen, it’s more about free movies, magicians, comedians, karaoke, paintball etc
or entertainment committees - movies, concerts, festivals, invited guests/speakers etc</p>
<p>Everything that involves alcohol is outside UT campus.
I personally get information about parties from UT police reports - who was arrested for underage drinking, where and when. Based on police reports I believe the main place for parties is West Campus (sorority and fraternity houses). You need to ask S or F members about them.</p>
<p>It is very possible that that particular weekend Feb 28-March 2 it will be no parties since March 7-16 is SXSW (and Spring break). SXSW is famous for free parties and free alcohol (ID required) </p>
<p>And I almost forgot that March 1 is UT Explore, the annual university Open House. <a href=“University Events | What Starts Here Changes the World”>University Events | What Starts Here Changes the World;
It will be children everywhere, face painting and other family oriented activities. Most of students will volunteer (sororities and fraternities, I believe, have community service requirements, so they will participate). I doubt it will be appropriate time for any parties.
6th street is the best place to go. </p>
<p>Thanks guys. Appreciate the tips!</p>
<p>One more question, cheapest place nearby to get a beer?</p>
<p>The Drag (Guadalupe Street)?
