Here’s a University Bucket List every student coming to university for the first time needs to check out. You’re in for the experience of a lifetime and there is so much for you to see and do.

University is great for your future job prospects and will boost your CV a lot. Not to mention, you’ll make lifelong friends and get to enjoy your new found freedom in your new city.

But what are the must-dos for all students? If you want to make the most out of your university experience, here are just a few bucket list ideas you should try out for yourself.

Take a Trip

 

When you’re at university, you get a lot of free time and you’re close to a whole host of new places to explore. Use this time to take a trip and go exploring the area!

Grab some friends or go solo and get the train to a nearby town or city you feel like exploring. Whether it’s only a day trip or a weekend long stay, it’s a great way to experience a new place and make some memories.

They say it’s about the journey not the destination, and just getting there can be a great way to bond and strengthen friendships. If you go solo, it’s a great way to learn more about yourself and what you’re capable of alone.

Throw a Party

University is a time for partying and having a good time, so why not celebrate your new independence by throwing a party?

Invite over other flats and uni friends and have a ball! Sure, there will be some clean up to do, but as long as you treat the student accommodation with respect, you’re bound to have a great time.

A party is a great way to meet new people and make friends. Just try not to drink too much and know when it’s time for the party to end.

Hit Up The Best Bars in Town

 

Bar hopping is an integral part of student life and it can make for a fantastic night out. One thing to do is try and hit every good bar in town during your time at university.

It may seem ambitious, especially if you’re heading to a big city, but that’s all part of the fun! Learn which ones are the best and which ones are best avoided. Become your own city guide and impart this knowledge onto others.

Even if you’re not much of a drinker, it is a super fun way to get to know the city better and meet the locals.

Cook a House Meal

If there’s one thing that unites us all, it’s food. Everyone loves a great meal and it’s a great way to bond with others, so why not cook your flatmates a nice meal?

It can be a great thing to do at the start of university when you’ve just moved into your student accommodation. You get to know your flatmates better and it’s a way to get off on the right foot with them all.

Assign everyone a different task and by the end, you’ve created a great meal that was a joint effort. It’s something you won’t forget and who knows, it could be the start of a great tradition.

Get a Job

If you’re coming to university for the first time, there’s a chance you may not have had a real job before. Getting a part time job at university is a great way to make some money and gain valuable experience.

It will help you save money and manage your student budget better. You will meet new friends and could make connections that help your future career.

It doesn’t have to be your dream job, but it can help you get some valuable savings behind you and make you more employable when you go for a better job.

Study Abroad

The ultimate university bucket list if your course offers this sort of opportunity. Studying abroad is a life changing experience that can boost your career prospects and open up your mind to the world. So if your university offers you the chance to study abroad, you should definitely go for it.

You get to explore a whole new country and meet people from all around the world. You can travel every weekend and gain experience of a new culture.

It’s something you’ll never forget and it can make your university experience an incredible one.
