Being a college student you probably want to stay in the Myrtle Beach area. House of Blues is in North Myrtle Beach. So you want be able to stay too close to both good areas.

As far as clubs, you will want to hit Freaky Tiki, Celebrity Square, Club Kryptonite, or Red Room late night.

Tons of dining or fishing. You can get info on dining on this website. Not sure what you're interested in.
