Your best university memories?

[Herecomesthesummersun]

I’ll start - Club Derwent (Club D?) nights at York University. Hilarious, often themed, exceptionally cheap pints.

Anyone else?

Student memories
Glasgow, the west end,happy hours in various bars,Ashton lane,uni cafe

Edinburgh the meadows,grass market bars, salt & sauce on chips,hibs

Anyone else?

Leaving. Did not enjoy my uni at all. Very odd place.

Going to visit my then boyfriend (now DH) at his uni and hanging out with his uni mates. That was fun.

The sweating walls of the Purple Turtle in Oxford.

Student nights at Zeus in Cardiff 😃😃😃😃
Many many many a good night there!

Too many good memories of my year in halls.

I had a blast at uni. Made some great friends and created so many memories.

Fellow Derwenter here! Club D theme nights were good - slag and drag was fun! And Viking raid each year... Getting glass in my feet at Salvation but being so drunk from Jager bombs I didn't really care

Best days ever. Constant fun, so carefree, endless partying.

Dundee - Cheesy Pop at Fat Sams and house parties

Owens Park bop, Manchester University, late 90s. A great time to be a student in the city.

Dundee - Cheesy Pop at Fat Sams and house parties

Omg! Me too. I never meet Dundee graduates. Dusa nights in Big. Going for lunch in the Liar before your next lecture and then realising you've been there 4 hours and it's time for the evening. Deciding that it's too late to go to bed so you'd better get chips and walk up the Law....

Lead mill in Sheffield, chip butties in the cafe at midnight after a night of dancing, mid nineties.

Almost everything.
I hated school, didn't fit in.
At university I met people I clicked with who are lifelong friends.

£1 a pint student night. I had 4 pints and had to be taken home by a policeman as I had just had a baby and hadn’t drank for a year

Best years of my life - they passed by too quickly. I made friends for life, got drunk, went on mad cross country weekends away just for the hell of it, danced on tables, enjoyed my lectures! and generally loved my best life.

What it was to be so free of stress and responsibilities. I was very lucky to be there on a full grant, so no money worries as long as I did go mad with my spending. I had a very difficult home life so uni was the great escape for me.

3 years R.S.A.M.D. in Glasgow - great local theatres (all free for us students) great live music concerts (not just classics but Thin Lizzie for example), a great pub around the corner in Buchanan Street just across from the railway station for the train home (if I wanted an occasional break in Edinburgh, mostly to get the washing done) and a 4th. year at Moray House, Edinburgh direct on the Royal Mile - good, good years!

Friday night pre-drinks in the bar of the Coach and Horses in Soho, which must be one of the most effortlessly London-y places to sit and the highs and lows of my misspent late teens and early twenties are all there, echoing off the walls. It was our usual Friday night meeting point for drinks before heading to G.A.Y Club (this anecdote brought to you today from the section of my life otherwise known as "the part where I thought I was gay and also had terrible taste in music") but I haven’t been back in years. I should, as soon as it reopens.

Also late nights working in the cool, grey-carpeted calm of the SOAS library and its motion-activated lighting - you could quite often find yourself sitting in the dark in some of the less-frequented Anthropology sections.

I lived in Tower 1

Did you go to kebab king after? Or Gaffs for a vcr repair?

Absolutely all of it. Had a wonderful time from start to finish!

I went abroad to somewhere sunny for my full degree and stayed there for a few years after graduation, best years of my life. Loved every moment.

I loved my course! I also met DP and we're still together 25+ years later with two 19 y/o DS

£1 a pint! Hoffmeister hangovers.
Going to bed at 2 and getting up for 9am
Lectures. Several days on the trot. How did I manage it!!

Thursday Night at the Mayfair in Newcastle. Happy hour early on. I had a tutorial at 9 on a Friday 😱

Without doubt - Learning to fly for free at the university air squadron

£1 a pint at a nightclub.
5 shots for a £1 at hall parties

I went to uni in Leeds and they were definitely the best years of my life. £1 a pint at Dock, Cockpit, shopping, getting drunk in Hyde Park, the German market at Christmas. I lived there for 13 years afterwards I loved it so much.

Unfortunately, I partied too hard and didn't actually get a degree, so I'm going back to uni in September to do that

Drinking cheap cider (an astonishing amount), wearing the coolest clothes out (platform trainers, mini skirt, vest) , dancing until I was sober and drenched in sweat, pizzas on the way home. Late 90s.
Hated the course, people on it and the fact I was far away from home and so out of place.
