Best Bars With A College Night In Baltimore
They say the college years will be the best years of your life—they fail to mention that these years can also be the most stressful. Class time and hours of studying can leave co-eds in need of a reprieve, but with little money for a night out. Luckily, students in Charm City have several opportunities for student discounts and designated college nights at bars near their universities.
