Since the former retirement home on McDonald Ave. converted to a student dorm we thought we'd help out the incoming Fall students by linking to an article from yesterday's NY Times Metro on proper student etiquette. Welcome, Students. Now Watch It. The article details lots of DON'Ts so we're gonna also give you some Kensington DOs.
1. Do hang out on the front 'porch' and study, smoke, hang. The locals like the young folk.
2. Do drink the fine selection of Bud or Bud Light down the block at Denny's.
3. Do try the Bengali restaurants further south on McDonald. We hear the outdoor kiosks also sell Betal Nut.
4. Do sign the F express petition.
5. Do go to Foodtown for your snack needs and for the late night munchies Golden Farm is open 24 hours.
6. DO try STD on Church (near Subway and Faro's dinner). Its a liquor store even though the name makes you think otherwise.

I was in the same situation ten years ago when I first moved here. Luckily I had roomates who I could hang out with. I did find myself leaving the hood if I wanted to meet other people and enjoy the nightlife. If I was in your situation, I would join a newsgroup that is enviromental, political or even for networking. As for coffee shops I think Vox Pop and Loneyville are good places to meet others. As for bars I have not been to Shenanigans, but I like (the crowd seems younger) the Royale and CommonWealth in south Slope on 5th Ave and Great Lakes further down. If you have lots of time try volunteering for a cause that interests you, I am sure you will find lots of likeminded people. Last words of advice, the only way I got people to hang out in Kensignton was to have a party at my apt. also subscribe to time out, that will keep you busy and in the know.
DO come to Denny's tonight and bring your friends.
Um, which school is this student housing associated with or is it just cheap singer person occupancies for students?
DO read the Wikipedia link about Betel nut before chewing it.
do not squander your intellect or your parents hard earned dinero.
