    agreed... based on the behavior of most underclassmen at my school id say theres a HUGE difference between the maturity of 18-21 and 21+... could just be that the mystique of drinking wears off once its legal and all your younger friends force you to make booze runs every day, but once youre 21 you dont really drink to get shit faced and you make smarter choices when you are drinking... of course that doesnt apply to everyone... but the law makes sense to me... just like driving at 16 (i can say this all in retrospect... i wouldve been pissed as a 16 y.o. if they changed the age to 18) :D

    thats because the age is 21...if the age was 18 like it used to be, 18-21 year olds would be acting like those 21+

    and for everyone whos talking about warrants...when you live on campus in any school you have to sign a housing agreement, if you dont sign it, you cant live on campus...if a cop or RA is outside your door and you refuse to open the door or take 5-10 minutes to open the door, you are only making you time with the cops/RA's worse for every minute that goes by...the place you are living in is not your place, it is the schools place

    RA's are like cops... they were socially retarded when they were younger so they want positions of power to ruin everyone elses fun... sometimes you get lucky with one thats doing it strictly for the free housing and doesnt care about anything (like mine freshman year) but most of them are pricks

    In my experience, there is usually 1 good RA for every 2 decent RA's, and the decent ones might be a little annoying, they definitely aren't bad like this. I've found that the real douche bag RA's are much more rare than the good ones.

    Thank god I moved off campus this year (my junior year). Its much better living.

    Got it. I had a feeling that the circumstances might be different regarding warrants and such.

    Definitely a bummer. Hope this doesn't fuck up your life too much, or take up too much of your time.

    Congrats on getting one year done though! I'll be done for the semester tomorrow or Thursday depending on when I get my papers in!

    Awwww, I'm sorry. Who knew Mason was so rough on their dormies? I went there, heard of something similar but they never followed through.

    I was shocked the first time I went to visit VA tech... bongs and illegal pets abound in those dorms. Kids walkin around with beer cases on their heads... it was hilarious.

    Needless to say I stopped partying at Mason and headed down to tech on the weekends after that :)

    anyway, good luck!

    and yes, ive been going to JMU atleast once a month :) havent been to tech yet

    Sounds like Brown. They have their own campus police there and real cops aren't there at all. Apparently the campus police or whatever don't give a shit about anything and people just walk around with open beer bottles and other drinks everywhere. A friend of mine told me that someone on his floor used to use beer bottles to keep his door open.

    JMU is also fun....but GO TO TECH :) Seriously! Good times to be had...and Radford is right down the street if you feel like slumming it. (j/k) ;)

    I don't know what it is about the cops on campus. I used to live not 4 miles from campus (behind the trader joes) and I couldn't find a cop to save my life if I needed one. That neighborhood sucked too.

    Anyway... go to tech :) Where do you hang out these days? Its been a while since I've hit a Fairfax city bar.

    Edited to add: Sorry, I didn't do the math, I guess you aren't 21 yet if you are a rising sophmore? congrats on getting the first one outta the way! A good friend of mine is graduating on saturday, after 11 years of part time college :)

    honestly, fairfax has gotten so strict that you cant really do much in it unless your 21, even if you are, they are arresting people left and right for being drunk in public

    the only bars in the area is buffalo wing university (which i will be working at starting in the fall) and theres this irish pub, both on 123 (ox road).....we usually just drink in the dorms or a few of my friends have houses that we have small parties at.......hopefully next spring ill have a house somewhere down roberts road

    I can't imagine what the security or even police would say if they knocked on my door right now. Place is a total dump. Beer bottles and empty coke cans EVERYWHERE. It also smells of smoke.

    I wouldn't get in shit for it though, they'd just think I was a tramp :D Good ol' british drinking laws.

    so does this mean that they kicked you out of housing?

    or are you just too fed up with them to go back for another year?
