      Well, I never studied in North America and never experienced all that college culture here (thank God!), but in my opinion - always remember that you're there to study and keep good grades. Sure you'll have fun and all that, but keep in mind that studying is what you're here (there) for. Better stay away from people who may hurt that.

        Seek out the biggest, baddest dude on campus. Then beat the **** out of him.

        edit: well, in retrospect that won't help much with academics. However, it should help you pull some ladies. Which is equally (if not more) important, IMO.

          Don't quit. Get your four years done. Once you become "no longer a student" like I did, it's impossible to get back in. Nearly. It's tough tho. Now is your best opportunity to set up your future

            Best advice so far thank you.

            Another question: My college is about 1 hour away from Montreal. Anybody ever been to Montreal? Whats the best stuff to do up there?

                You gotta make a plastic shank first though... perparation is a must.

                  Some guys will probably know better, as I've never been there. But this site may help...

                    Prison style I like it.

                    EDIT: One thing I am looking forward to Stumble is my college offers Muai Thai and Kickboxing classes. There is also a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu club. So maybe the plastic shank won't be needed.

                      What school?

                      I loved going to college within 90 minutes of Montreal. You have to check out St. Catherines's Street and Bar Diane 2000.

                        SUNY Plattsburgh. And yes I have a few people tell me St. Catherine's Street is a hot spot.

                          A few kids from my HS went there, I grew up across the lake in Burlington. There is also the BioDome and Casino in Montreal for fun, not to mention a drinking age of 18. When we would go to Montreal we always made our way to the Piel Pub.

                            Yeah my roomate is from Waterbury. Don't know how close that is. Does Burlington have anything special?
