I have been at Staffs uni for a year now and I enjoy the life there. There is lots of night life there but I am more about the day life. Lots of shopping if that's your thing but also places like cinema, bowling, restaurants, and pubs. Pretty much anything you fancy is not that far from the uni itself. There is ember lounge and verve on campus which are a pub style and american diner style. Ember always puts big sporting matches on their big screens as well. On campus there is a really good atmosphere because everyone there wants to work hard and the lecturers all want to help you get the best marks that you can. Hope this helps a little.
