Taking a day trip to any of these locations is also very affordable, because students get a discount. If spending the day in London sounds more appealing than taking the train to another city, there is never a shortage of things to do. You can spend an entire day walking down Oxford Street with its numerous stores. Walking for 5 minutes from Oxford street will take you to the National Gallery which houses an impressive collection of art work from every era and style. The Impressionist collection is not to be missed, which includes one of Van Gogh's Sun Flower paintings.
Farther west are a number of natural and scientific museums that each are a day's expedition.
Being a student has its benefits when it comes to museums and galleries. At every museum and gallery students are given a discount on admission. Discounts can also be found on train, Tube, and even movie tickets. When it comes to night life it doesn't matter what your taste is. Square has two of the more popular dance clubs that vary the music style depending on the night.
