Not sure what happened and whether you went through clearing or not but I live in Hull and I can truly say that it's a really good city to live in. So many students you have no clue. The nightlife is so varied; we have spiders which is a really unique, dark place where they place old music, screamo, and pop punk stuff, soooo cheap too (£1.70 for a double). Then there's welly, slightly more expensive at £2.50 a double but they have a few different nights, Thursday's are jelly where it's pop punk upstairs, main room is kinda indie/chart music, then the lounge is a bit of rap I suppose? Really great atmosphere there. Then you have asylum, never been but it's the uni's own nightclub. Then you have sugar mill and valbon, both a bit more expensive and play a lot of house and chart music, a lot of the more popular???? People go to these places. Then you have newland and princess ave, lots of cocktail bars and cosmopolitan restaurants down there, really nice when you want to impress someone.
We are also city of culture 2017 so there has been a lot of funding put into the place, but we have plenty of places to shop, we have the deep too!!!! Idk man it's a cool city tbf I wouldn't be too worried we're all pretty chill.
