(O2) achieves a better and more holistic comprehension of students' consumption patterns of nightlife - which establishments and places they visit, when, where, why, for how long and with whom
(O3) identifies and examines the expansion of university student -oriented nightlife with regard to its negative impacts on local residents and how residents deal with the nuisances produced by nightlife (dissimulation, acceptance and commitment).
