HI, I’M ELLE AND I’M A THIRD-YEAR
FASHION MARKETING STUDENT AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER.
ORIGINALLY FROM NOTTINGHAM,
I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO COMING
HOME AND HAVING A GREAT NIGHT
OUT WITH MY FRIENDS!
by Elle Pollicott
FANCY A NIGHT OUT?
Before we go out, my friends and I will
always meet up at one of our houses for
pre-drinks till about 11pm. We spend
ages catching up on what everyone else
has been up to, as we’re all at different
Uni’s, but no matter how long it’s been
since we’ve last seen each other, it
always feels like hardly any time
has passed!

We then head into town and either go
for drinks at Coco Tang, a really nice
underground bar that serves amazing
cocktails - many chocolate and sweetinspired (the Toblerone cocktail is a
must!) - or Bad Juju, which has a tiki-bar
feel to it, with many trinkets lying around
including a giant puffa fish dangling from
the bar! If I get my way, we generally go
to Dogma afterwards – I really like it there
as the first floor is a chilled-out bar with
classy cocktails; but you can head down
to the basement if you want to dance. If
it’s my friends’ turn to pick where we’re
going, then we’ll no doubt end up in Rock
City – paradise if it’s cheap drinks you’re
after (just beware of the sticky floors –
don’t go wearing nice shoes!).
For student nights, The Forum’s Dirty
Mondays are the official Trent Uni
night, with drinks from £1.50; and 4Play
every Thursday for the University of
Nottingham. Pandora’s Box offers £4
entry on Tuesday with a student card, and
has really good club nights on Sundays!
