Everyone will tell you that this is the best time of your life, and do you know what, they might be right! Being a student can be hard work sometimes, but it can also be exciting, fun, thrilling and just downright great. Take a look at some of our favourite things about being a student:

Student Discounts

Student discounts may be one of the greatest things ever invented. When you’re sticking your arms into the depths of the sofa, desperately rummaging around for enough to buy a double cheeseburger, at least you can rest safe in the knowledge that you can pick up a free McFlurry with your meal.

Having Your Mum do Your Laundry Will Never be Acceptable Again

Seriously, enjoy the time you get of having your Mum do your laundry without being mercilessly berated by your friends. Apparently, you’re supposed to know how to use a washing machine by the time you’re 25.

Being a Sleeping Beauty

Oh, sweet sleep. There’s nothing we miss more about being students than the sheer number of hours of sleep we put in. Seriously, it can become almost like a full-time job if you’re really committed to it.

New Experiences

Because when you’re in your 30s, playing Quidditch on a Thursday night is socially unacceptable. Seriously, join as many of the weirdest university societies as you possibly can!

Going Out Every Night of the Week

Going for a cheeky boogie in Hustle on a Thursday night is one of the great pleasures of being a student in Lancaster. You will definitely miss those midweek sticky floors and bottles of VK when you have to start work at 9am.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Nothing makes your university experience quite like the friends you make along the way. In fact, they say that the friends you make at uni will be the friends you keep for life, so pick wisely!
