HUDDERSFIELD city guide I’M JAIME. I’M IN MY FIRST YEAR STUDYING FASHION AND TEXTILE BUYING MANAGEMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HUDDERSFIELD AND I LIVE IN HUDDERSFIELD. the night. Varsity has cheap drinks for students that own a V-card, so it is good to stop there before going to your main place as it’ll be a lot cheaper. GREAT NIGHTS OUT The best nights out always start with predrinks with a big group of your favourite people (the more people the cheaper the taxi). Sometimes there are flat parties close by that you can join, which is a great way to meet new people. When you head out, make sure you choose a student night, as lots of bars and clubs have special offers, such as Tuesday’s Let’s Get Funked! at Revolutions where all drinks are half price! There’s also Camel Club Wednesdays. It may cost extra for your entry, but you are sure to have a great time with a fabulous DJ throughout BEST PLACES TO EAT I’d tend to avoid the Students’ Union café where the food is pretty basic and overpriced. During the first few weeks of term, you will find you will be given lots of vouchers and offers. Now is the time to use them as they will help you save money on student favourites, such as KFC, McDonald’s and Wetherspoons. If you are meeting your family and you want to impress them with your knowledge of the best places to eat, there are some lovely little pubs in and outside of town, such as the Head of Steam and www.accommodationforstudents.com 71 HUDDERSFIELD by Jaime Sandelands After a great night there are lots of delicious takeaways on the main stretch in Huddersfield, that aren’t too pricey and are a must do at the end of the night. Dixy Chicken on Cross Church Street is my personal favourite!
