Cheap nights out!

Going out might seem like the most expensive thing in the world! There are just so many costs involved from the taxi to the entry fee and drinks inside (alcoholic or not). It all adds up. So many people seem to think that the more expensive the night, the better. This is not the case!

You can still have a brilliant night out without spending bucket loads of money because let’s face it, students aren’t made of cash. The key to a good, cheap night out is common sense. It is likely that during freshers, all this information will be ignored because people seem to think the best way of making friends is to go out and get bladdered with some people you’ve never met.

First month as a Fresher: Out of the Frying Pan

FOR THE majority of First Year students, it’s been a month of rather sizeable change. The transition between living at home and living at University has been massive, and it’s fair to say that quite a few of us will have struggled with the adjustment, I for one am included in that group. Moving away from your parents can be a challenge on its own but on top of that, trying to live with a set of complete strangers who call themselves your ‘flat-mates’ can prove to be an even more daunting task.

Now that you’ve had time to get used to your timetables, get to know your flatmates and explore the city its time to write about it! We want 300 – 400 words about your early experiences at Coventry University and Second years are still useful, write down your experiences for new students, it all helps!
