It does once you're of age. Because it's a university city they're more stringent about checking ID for the most part.

In first year (especially on rez) - if you seek them out, you'll find the parties. Although underage drinking is strictly prohibited, you're likely to find certain floors/wings in residences that often have the more boisterous residents (it changes year to year though).

In upper years, Hamilton has a ton of clubs/bars/restaurants that you can visit, depending on what you're in to.

Ditto what Danielle said though, off campus bars are strict about drinking age.

Thanks to both of you. That's good to know, luckily (or maybe not), I'm going to turn nineteen during November of first semester anyways.

There are also house parties and keggers. Friends in upper years hold them and/or you can always crash them when you're in first year.

Hamilton, the best part to go out is hess street, its a small street that has clubs and bars on it, its probably about a 7 minute ride from Mac, most Hamilton is quite ghetto and scary, but Hess is good, and a few other parts around Hamilton.
