Yup. They'll dance on Rick's sticky floors, fist pump to deafening music and sip on fishbowls filled with unidentifiable liquor.
Ah, college.
Well, believe it or not, the experience has been deemed so remarkable that Rick's on South University Avenue in Ann Arbor is listed as one of the top 25 college bars in the country, according to an August ranking by The Daily Meal.
Number 24 to be exact - and the only one in Michigan.
The Daily Meal looked at beer selection, drink specials, dance availability, music, prices, food availability, cover charges, location and games when compiling the ranking.
