Hey I can talk on the Cambridge nightlife. It is a bit tragic compared to bigger cities but it’s still super fun. We have three big nights out a week and they are very well attended. Because Cambridge is a small city and uni the people that go out all tend to get to know each other so stuff like getting separated from friends in a club is easily solved because likely you’ll recognise someone else there. Plus the biggest advantage is that we all walk to and from the club! No having to rely on buses and Uber. We do have a bigger club that does dnb nights a bit further out that draws in lots of people. Also we’re not far from London so if you want a bigger night you can but be prepared to be partying till 5/6 in the morning when the trains start again.
The pub scene in Cambridge is really good and there are so many really good pubs and a few bars and a few alternative bars.
