tudents frequently took advantage of attending college in a city with so many unique places to go to. Nightlife in Miami offered students a variety of things to do. Many students went out to eat or to the movies on weekends. Others went to nightclubs and bars on South Beach and in Coconut Grove. As a ttmelting pot, Miami had many clubs that offered salsa and merengue dancing, techno, hip- hop and the biggest trend of the year, swing dancing. A few clubs provided swing lessons and then gave everyone the opportunity to use their newly learned skills as they danced the night away. In addition, salsa and merengue were big hits due to the extremely influential Latin cultures in Miami. Brooke Gleeson, a sophomore history major said, ttMy resident assistant organized a night out at Club St. Croix, during which we went salsa dancing. Not only did it provide the opportunity for me to get to know my floor mates better, but I also got to explore Coconut Grove. 2U mm W In addition to Club St. Croix, other bars and clubs like Murphyts Law, La Covacha, The Tavern, The Chili Pepper, and Groovejet were also frequented by students who were eager to dance, drink and socialize. The many bars and clubs were occupied by a diverse crowd allowing students to meet new people and experience various styles of music and dancing. Kanecia Allen, a freshman biology major said, ttGoing to the Brick House was da bomb because there were a mixture of people from different countries with different cultures and music. The variety of cultures provided diverse entertainment and a good way to have fun and relax. Students needed a way to relax and get away from school work and everyday stresses. Alexandra Littlejohn, a junior economics major said, ttPart ofthe college experience is partying and having fun and there are plenty of opportunities for that in Miami. m Part of the dating game included trying to find the perfect mate.
