Our city is bursting at the seems with brilliant late night venues for students, but now it’s officially been confirmed.
And that’s because with Freshers’ Week just around the corner, Canvas set out to decipher the very best cities in the UK for student nightlife.
They analysed key factors that make a really fantastic student night out like drink prices, the number and ratings of nightlife venues as well as local safety scores.
And luckily, if you’ve got Leeds as your student city of choice then you’re in for a brilliant three years as we ranked number four in the top ten list. Get in.
With 325 bars and clubs, around 7 venues per 10,000 people, there’s plenty of spots for Freshers and the like to explore.
Averaging at £5.00 for a beer and £1.71 for a soft drink, a night out won’t break the bank and our numerous venues hold an impressive average rating of 4.40.
Throw in a safety score of 47.28, and Leeds is firmly securing its place in the top five. Class.
Bath took the top spot with 10 venues per 10,000 people and an impressive average rating of 4.45 stars.
Coming in second, Manchester boasts the highest number of bars and clubs overall, with 606 venues, 15 for every 10,000 people and a strong average rating of 4.37 stars and a pint costing slightly less than Bath at £5.50.
In third place was Newcastle and in fifth place was York. It’s safe to say that the North dominated the top spots, and rightly so.
