Personal comments:
Everybody knows about the Amadeus, a 20-minute busride away from campus, where pints are at 1 pound on Mondays. There are of course plenty of pubs in town, some organising special events, etc. For freezing winternights, go to the campus' pub (forgot the name : "7th hole" or something like that), very nice as well...

If dance music is your thing, Liquid has an amazing floor- also the Priory ( this renovated old church). My favourite pubs/meeting places were the Wild Boar and Henry J Beans for the delectable 2 for 1 cocktails:)

The U of A student union is really nice and I would recommend going there at least once. The Priory is an experience, especially for Aerican students who ahve never seen a church renovated and turned into a nightclub!
