Typical cost of a night out by Ella Duncan, biochemistry and genetics student at the University of Sheffield

Student life in Sheffield is great. You can go out partying and still be able to drink, travel and eat within budget.

The typical cost of a night out could look like:

Travel:

For £1.20, you can get the bus into town near lots of bars and clubs. A taxi home might cost £5-10, but this is often split between your friends, or you can get the Safety Minibus from the Students’ Union (SU) for £1.50.

Drinks:

Many places do deals on drinks, so you could get a spirit and mixer for £2 or a pint for roughly £3.50. Soft drinks and mocktails are really affordable too.

Food:

Nights out always end with food, we love to go to Pasam’s and might spend around £5-7.
