What is the UK's top party university?

I remember when this organisation came to my sixth form a couple months ago with tables of how cheap alcohol is, how much universities drink and other statistics

obviously everyone is going to say their own university, but is there some outside proof or something? :P

Depends on what you mean by partying. I've heard that Oxford students drink the most, but when it comes to nightlife there are far better places.

My old housemate came up with the idea for a book, "The Good Times University Guide" consisting of partying info on every uni :smile:

This usually is more common to students of campus based unis such as Warwick, York, Bath, Exeter and Notts, as well as, those that have collegiate system such as Oxford, Cambridge and Durham.

I think the nature of the university set-up, and the lack of access to cities with vibrant night life tend to pull the students at these universities together rather than away from each other and head to pubs in the city. Sort of like making up for what they only have...

Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds (all in located in big cities).

Oh yeah, Loughborough's lively, and I've heard from friends that De Montfort Uni has a good nightlife (so I'm guessing Leicester Uni is good for that as well). Nottingham, Bristol and Cardiff are also good for partying, my Uni (Essex) is always buzzing on campus and Colchester town is decent without being great. You have clubs and bars like Liquid, Route and TP's. Drinks are pretty cheap in Colchester town.

Any large university in a big city really, Manchester's a massive uni in a big city, also probably Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, and maybe Notts? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...

London. That's a pretty big city, at least that's what they tell me...

Gotta be Newcastle, great city to party in. It usually crops up in those "Top 10 party cities" lists. Leeds is great fun as well.

Depends what you mean though, some campus unis have no real nightlife around them, so people party within the uni accommodation a lot more.
