To be honest I don't think the nightlife is that bad. I can't wait to enjoy it legally and get in everywhere!

Is Preston night life better than lancaster?
No. Preston stinks. It festers. There's nothing to do. Lancaster is better.

I am starting a 4 year degree at uclan this september and I have a few mates who are already studying there, from what I have experienced the nightlife is pretty good, I've been out in manchester and lancaster and places like that and they are all different, I think Lancaster is too small and Manchester is too big, Preston is just in the middle, geographically and size wise, so you can always go to manchester for a mad night out or lancaster for a bit of a change, in general though the clubs and pubs in preston seem pretty good, plenty to do and a good variety, I do not have much experience with the restaurant scene there but judging bu the rest it will be more than good enough, I plan to spend the next 4 years enjoying the nightlife there and can't imagine it will be boring.
hey I'm going to be studying English Lit in september (confirmed offer woo hoo) and me and a couple friends who've also got a conditional offer are going up for a weekend in july for a night out in preston. only problem is one of us is still going to be seventeen, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how strict they are with ID, is it a case of if you look old enough you get in or will she have no chance?

Not worth trying really pal. There are a few pubs that might serve you, but none of the clubs will let you in. We used to borrow older mates IDs to go out.

Ive heard mixed reviews about it. I was just wondering what peoples thoughts on it were. Ive been told that its good but there isn't many places to go. Any truth in that?
Thanks


I'm also considering UCLAN, I'm not that sure about the nightlife itself but it isn't that far away from other cities. Manchester is only around a 45 minute drive which isn't too bad!

Since the original posts were 5-3 years old, can any students who attend UCLan now tell me if its got better/worse or what your opinions of the night life are?

I lived in Preston for 18 years and then moved to York for uni. Night life in Preston is fantastic. It is really cheap and there are lots of clubs/really cheap pubs to chose from (Thursday at Ships and Giggles £1 bombs (12 for £10), £1 Sambuca, £1 bottles, £1 bottles, £2 cans) and always £1 house shots. Takeaways are always around and are also really cheap. In preston there is a club open till 6am(!!!!!) on Thursdays and Saturdays, and when I told this to people in London, they couldn't believe it at all.
