Plenty of cafes in the day, and lots of libraries to work in, especially on sites like Sidgwick. rnSome good clubbing, but it really depends on when you go. One Saturday, the club was absolutely dead, but if you want a good night out, I would recommend Wednesday Revs.

It has just enough freedom (ie I can choose my essay title each week, and will later be able to choose which texts I revisit and revise and which I never want to see again) while being structured and guided under four papers, each of a different time period. The supp...

Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
