Most Sociable Uni? (1 Viewer)

Which is the most sociable uni and why?

In NSW, the University of New England. Put a few thousand young people in a small town with nothing better to do than party, and what do you think will happen? Colleges in particular are really well supported there, with local pubs providing over $30,000 to them in sponsorship money annually.

I hear Bathurst is also quite the party place.

Apparently it's the uni with the least asians, whichever one that may be.

The fact that thousands of young adults are out of their parents watchful eye for the first time in their lives, and surrounded by grog with nothing better to do than drink it, well that wouldnt have anything to do with it, would it?

I love that everyone attributes Armidale and Bathurst as 'Party Towns' when these towns have been indentified as some of the worst in the state when it comes to underage drinking, bringe drinking, alcohol related injuries, violence and deaths. Just because everyone get trashed from Tuesday thru to Sunday doesn't mean they are the most sociable. These towns have serious problems when it comes to young people and alcohol, that are still largely ignored.

Sydney. Best clubs and socs program, because the union throws so much money at them. That means more free booze and more chances to meet people.

I wouldn't know, but it seems every point about USYD is the pouring of $$$$ into something or other. I guess it depends on what you consider 'social', but can you compete with the idea of country 'party unis'?

The uni in my pants.
