Welcome to America…you’re underage again!
Arriving in the U.S. for college comes with a whirlwind of new experiences — classes, dorm life, dining halls and, of course, parties. For many international students, nights out in America feel like stepping into a completely different world. It’s not just the places or the people that are new, but the entire going out culture: from what we wear, to how we get ready, to what we carry with us. Back home, whether it’s in Brazil, Portugal, the Philippines, Turkey, or wherever we’re from, the night starts late, the fashion is excessive and getting ready is a ritual of glamor, chaos and excitement.
