subject: The Four Best Student Party Towns in the UK [print this page] Manchester Manchester
Manchester's one of the great nightlife meccas in Britain. And this is underpinned by the nocturnal proclivities of its tens of thousands of students. To get things started, there's the lively university area of Rusholme (also home to the city's legendary Curry Mile'), but that's really just a sort of light aperitif!
For the main course, there's top-class indie music in abundance in the city's Northern Quarter, while less trendy distractions can be found round the city's Deansgate Shopping centre. Then of course there's Canal Street, and the infamous Gay Village... It's exhausting just running through the options!
Newcastle
Another northern city, another one of the undisputed best student party towns in the UK. Newcastle's got a lively vibe albeit in a decidedly knock-about sort of way. Sure, there are cool cocktail bars on the Quayside, but there's also the bouncing student quarter of Jesmond to contend with. And that's before you even get to the infamous hold-on-to-your-hats' quarter, the Bigg Market.
