Student Activities: Parties and Nightlife
Most on-campus AU students go to McMurdo on weekend nights for parties and fun having. There they find a wide variety of clubs and restaurants, movie houses and opportunities for social interaction with a diverse community. Aside from US Navy personnel, one finds a cosmopolitan group of tourists and other pleasure-seekers from abroad, independent travellers and, of course, the off-campus students, specialists and scientists living at McMurdo itself, as well as New Zealanders from nearby Ross Station.
For events happening on the AU / McMurdo club strip, please see some of our student and / or researcher pages from years past.
