Personal comments:
I do not remember the names of the cafes and bars I was going to, except for some, for example : - Lennon's for a drink in a "cool" bar with live bands playing (rock, celtic music...) - bridge on water (candles and jazz atmosphere for a pint of guiness or/and a romantic dinner in a corner of this cosy restaurant !) - the bar along Highfield Road, very big and familial, with several fire places (very nice during English winters !) - the one in front of Lennon's, an Irish Pub

Personal comments:
Student and Night life in Southampton were great: the university had a cinema inside that was really cheap (if you had the university card, of course)and had a good movie program..the university also organized ball quite often and karaoke nights on thursday. Outside University, my friends and I usually went to clubs and pubs closed to the city center and there we had lots of fun too...Jester's, for example, or Ikon were our favourite. Wednesday afternoon was dedicated to sport and social activities..I was in the volley team and I played tennis quite often.

Journey to the Isle of Wight is amazing. Trip to London: if you book tickets in advance (1 month) you can get funfare tickets for 2 pounds at www.nationalexpress.co.uk or www.megabus.com Nice places to go out: Soul Cellar (next to civic centre); The hobbit (pub), Jesters (very cheap pub);

Nightlife is ok, but don't compare it to that of a big city. (So if you are studying in a capital city, it might be boring here)
