Top Unis Social Life

Hi! I'm looking to go to top unis (straight 9s GCSE Predicted, looking to get at least A*AA at A level)
I don't want to go to London unis, but will be applying to Oxbridge (Probably Land Economy at Cambridge)
My question is which top unis have the best social lives, thank you!

Probably would be:
Oxbridge, Warwick, Bath, Bristol, Durham, Exeter, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Manchester and York.
(Currently I think to apply to Cambridge, Warwick, Bath, Bristol and Nottingham/Edinburgh? But I'm obviously not 100% sure)

If you go to Uni Open Days, you can ask current students exactly this sort of question.

And btw, basing your Uni choices just on the potential for parties when you have clearly not looked at those Uni's websites or course offerings is a bit juvenile. If you are aiming at Cambridge, you may have to adjust your focus a bit.

I actually have looked at the course's websites, and have looked at the course offerings, but for me personally the social factor is very important for me. I am interested by all of the economics/management courses offered by Bristol/Warwick etc. I get that with Cambridge I wouldn't have this as much but there is the caveat of the prestige, however for the other unis there isn't so the social factor would be important.
