Fair enough :cool:

melancholly - sorry but those suggestions are terrible. Watching tv is what i do all the time so i was hoping someone would suggest a change. museums are not fun, and walking can only be fun if its somewhere nice. I'm not somewhere nice.thanks for trying.

so there is nothing at all ever ogranised by your SU that is cheap/free and fun............. ok!

if you have no money, you can't go out and do lots and lots of exciting things. sorry if you think that's terrible, but it's life. you can't spend what you don't have!!

you could rent dvds or cook for each other or go to a highly subsidised evening course or play board games or internet games or go to the cinema or play some sport or go cycling or walking or go to some of the cheap plays/concerts that unis run or a million other things that just require some imagination! i remember nights in with no money playing blowing bubbles tennis and other ridiculous things like that!

you don't always need something/someone to 'entertain' you to be entertained..... that's something to remember for after graduation, when you have no money, lots of debt and no student discounts any more - that's when life gets a bit more difficult!

great ideas I really like the random places idea. I wanted to do this a while ago but my friends were a bit scared of wherer we'd end up.

but thats the beauty of it. if they're that scared then plan it a bit more. see where you can afford to go to and then just go. i studied in glasgow and we went to stirling, some of the islands, edinburgh, troon(!), loch lomond etc. not every weekend but if you have a kitty and put away a lock of pounds a week then it pays for the drink and travel.
