I'm applying for comp sci at a few unis, think Birmingham is my favourite right now mainly because it ranks 4th on the guardian and is said to have a pretty good nightlife from what I understand (feel free to comment on that). However the facilities at Southampton for the subject were amazing at the open day and despite it ranking lower with the same entry requirements I'm seriously considering it.
My main concern is that a couple friends of mine from Southampton told me the nightlife was dire. From what I can see in other TSR threads this doesn't quite add up so was wondering, could someone give me an honest opinion about the nightlife in Southampton? I'm mostly bothered about clubbing and I prefer the kind of places that play a lot of deep house etc. less bothered about bars but obviously there's places like Yates that are always good for pres, that sort of thing.
Also if anyone has any comments about the nightlife at any of my other choices, I'd welcome them.
Birmingham, Southampton, Durham, Surrey and Newcastle.
