Hi everyone! I'm a mature student starting in September but I already live in Winchester. I've had many years of drinking here but you get liking the extra little places in town!
Slug and lettuce followed by pitcher and piano is a good night out! Slug is 2-4-1 cocktails!
Just down the road is Southampton which has a huge nightlife and you will find that your get a train or bus down there as a group and then all chip in for the taxi home!
Or there are some very cheap hotels. Most of my past uni friends used to do a Southampton blow out and then made the most of Winchester, I never heard them complaining!!!!!
