Oxford/Cambridge nightlife

Does Oxford really have a better nightlife than Cambridge? Is it more of a city?

True Oxford is a bigger city but Cambridge has some legendary nightlife, you're always going to find something going on every night that suits your taste from RnB to hip hop to classic cheese you'll have an awesome time.

Are you sure? It's just that I'm from London and I love big cities...so i was a bit worried that Cambridge might be too small, and I'm the sort of person who can't stand boredom....so there has to be something going on allll the time for me))

Well I come from the country and I love Cambridge, but if you're used to London (a place that scares the hell out of me) I guess you'd find it a bit claustrophobic. Even among the students the nightlife is considered a bit too cheesy, but there's not much else to do, and when there are hundreds of students there it is pretty good. Nothing compared with London, but I like it.

THe reason why i love cambridge - and why people from big cities might not, is you learn to recognise who will be in a club on certain nights.
can lead to embarrasment if you don't want to run into 'that' person again lol

I've lived here for years and we have one good club night a week (monday, Fez club)

Cambridge is ok if you like the Cheese scene. If you are into your RnB/Hip-Hop then you are kinda stuck unless you go clubbing with the locals and away from the student scene. At least that's what I gathered from my 4 days there.

Lol, so what percentage of the female clientele at Cindies have you pissed off then J?

Last time I went there was shite, I have to say though. Went with two friends who decided to have a pulling competition - they were drunk, I wasn't, and I lost them both within about half an hour. Managed to spot a couple of other people I knew, but they were all otherwise engaged, so I thought "f*** it" and went home. I was not best pleased.

Not that many, my running total is a modest 4, and I haven't seen any of them in there for a long time

ps i think we're going to go out tonight on the town. literally town, cos i'll bet it will be towniefied

I think it depends on what you're used to. During my freshers week half of the people in Oxford stood there looking stunned in the clubs at how big they were, how many there are, how late they stay open.

Me (from lovely Birmingham) and others from big cities saw Oxford clubs as small, seedy little places only playing cheesy/chart music etc. There's a real lack of variety (except Zodiac) and a big town/gown divide.

As I said matter of perspective. I think Oxford nightlife is terrible and I'm sure I'd find Cambridge worse. I'm sure lots of people will disagree.
