some people are accepted to a uni in another state
That makes me curious, are there multiple universities in each state, or just one? And do they offer multiple courses, or does each one specialise?

In Australia, you'd probably still be in the same state if you drove that far. :p
Also I never went to a uni but isn't living on campus cheaper then living out and also isn't it part of the kids tuition or no?
Certainly not the case here, but I am curious if it is the case in the US.

The university in my city is very central, and hence most students live central too.
We've got one uni in this state that has at least 12 campuses, 3 in the centre of the capital, others are scattered throughout the city, and in other cities in the state. Most of them are specialised. In metro areas, most people live within an hour bus trip of at least one campus. And that's just one of the universities in this state. There are two other major ones, each with multiple campuses, and then there are minor ones.
The drinking age is 18 here so most students want to live in places with loads of bars and clubs - a huge, huge, huuuuge part of student life here revolves around drinking (for better or worse).
It's the same here, many of the campuses have bars, or at least lots of party like festive stuff going on. Pub crawls are a popular way to get to know other people in various groups and clubs. Most uni students live just around the corner from a pub.
