<p>Hi! Does anyone know what welcome week is like in florence? what are the differences between the one in Florence and the one in NYC? i know there are a ton of parties in NYC organized by different groups but will there be any in Florence? Or will the Freshmen have to find some on their own? </p>
<p>There are actually probably more parties (potentially with free booze) in Florence than in NYC because the drinking age is 18 instead of 21. Most real parties at NYC welcome week are not NYU related, and take place in clubs and bars that most freshman can’t get into without a fake id anyway. The main difference is that there are probably fewer events about NYU clubs, etc because there aren’t many of them abroad. </p>
