UK unis with the best gay nightlife (clubs + bars)

I'm planning to study psychology next year at university, and I was just wondering if anyone knows and can give me a shortlist of the best unis for a gay nightlife please?

I'm more interested in big clubs and not so much little pubs but I guess I shouldnt be fussy

I'm currently most interested in (but not exclusively) UCL, bristol, birmingham, sussex, surrey, southampton, royal holloway and leeds

Thanks for any replies!

I think any major city will have a decent number of gay pubs and clubs. You shouldn't have any problems in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds or Southampton.

But Newcastle, well known for its nightlife, has a fast developing gay scene.

It's located around what is known as the "gay village" or "Pink Triangle" part of the city. It's fairly central and compact. There's Rockies, possibly the oldest gay club in the region, and is said to be rather "cheeky" with strippers and pole dancing nights.

Other venues include the Eagle which I don't think is an exclusively gay venue but is particularly popular with the gay community. It is a bar spread over a few floors (three I think) with a "men's only" basement ie. bottom floor.

Switch and Heaven's Above seem to be quite popular with students.

There are probably about 20 pubs or bars in particular which are either hardcore, exclusive gay bars or are just a little different, alternative type places and appear to attract a large number of the gays

See this site for more info. There are more pubs and clubs but it should give some basic information.

Lol, why be gay (no offence) when girls are so nice?

So I think Surrey is pretty much out of the question and Manchester, Leeds & Newcastle are now in the question. Sucks that Manchester is 67 on the guardian league table though :/

Sussex is next to Brighton so thats pretty good.

Yeah i was going to say Brighton too, I wish i chose Brighton instead, hate it here

really?! Manchester is a top rated uni.
