When it comes to socializing, drinking and smoking tend to be more acceptable for men than for women. However, the big cities all have a few locales that are safe and good places for students to act like students. Hondurans love to dance and this is one of the best ways to get out and have fun. Just be careful getting around those cities at night, because crime is a big problem.

Women rarely ask men out; if they do, it's a pretty forward gesture to make.

Some Honduran men tend to be sexist and often make catcalls or other comments that would be seen as very rude and tasteless to a foreigner. Catcalling, while definitely a manifestation of the machismo culture, is often done in the spirit of a compliment and many Honduran women do not mind it. It should not necessarily be taken as an implied threat (though it can be if done in a sketchy situation).

can be a lot of fun, but it is a dangerous place to live the stereotypical student party lifestyle. There is a lot of violent crime, drugs, sexual assault, and AIDS is very prevalent.

The best thing for a student to do while there is learn to change their habits according to the needs of safety.
