UEA is not a boring university.
On campus, we have the LCR, Pub/Blue Bar, hosting live gigs with many famous names and various pub-based quizzes, events, dress up nights, all with reasonably priced drinks.
Off campus however, Norwich really does shine. It has the most pubs per square mile in England, and offers the BEST pubs in the whole of England. Take the Fat Cat for example, which won pub of the year for two years running.
With clubs, you have Prince of Wales Road, which gets very busy especially as the week comes to an end. Mercy/Pure/Optic offers the traditional mainstream club, but there are also much classier clubs such as the newly re-opened Lola Lo's, bringing a Tiki style beach themed club.
Theres also new clubs opening soon such as Project near Riverside complex who are having Professor Green, Greg James etc on opening week.
There is also plenty of excellent bars to go to, some which are open until 6am!
There is plenty to do. I know Brighton has amazing nightlife, but honestly, don't compromise your course choice for nightlife. In this economy you need the best grades possible, and with ENV being top in the UK, its worth coming here
