Travel tip: with Megabus, you can get a return trip to London in a coach for £2.5! Which means you could go there every week end! Don't miss Stonehenge, the Isle of Wigth, Winchester and New Forest.

Personal comments
Student and Night life in Southampton were great: the university had a cinema inside that was really cheap (if you had the university card, of course)and had a good movie program..the university also organized ball quite often and karaoke nights on thursday. Outside University, my friends and I usually went to clubs and pubs closed to the city center and there we had lots of fun too...Jester's, for example, or Ikon were our favourite.
Wednesday afternoon was dedicated to sport and social activities..I was in the volley team and I played tennis quite often.
