Most socs are 3 to join, sports clubs more expensive depending on type of sport and how often you had practise etc.
Bars And clubs: Plenty to chose from catering for all tastes! Main student night is tuesday, although you can find somewhere with a student night on pretty much most of the week (except weekends where the drinks are hideously expensive and its mainly locals). The union also owns The Waterfront, which just out of the city centre, offers the best alternative music night in a Saturday night, and the prices are more expensive than the actual union bar, but much cheaper than other bars/clubs.
Events: n the union there is the LCR disco every Thursday (cheesy music, cheap alcohol and students...what more could you want?!) which is legendary within the uni. Usually there is also some kind of student event (like a theme night) on a Friday or Saturday as well, ranging from Club Retro, to Skool Daze, to Brighton Rocks and even 90's revival nights! The union also gets very good bands, many big names have played there and the bands announced already for next year are very good (even Status Quo are playing a gig in the LCR!). Gig tickets are usually around 8-15 depending on the band and the venue (gigs are held both in the LCR and the Waterfront).
Clubs And socities: Most interests are represented by a society or sports club! If you can't find anything that suits you, uou can start your own society - you need 30 signatures and a risk assessment! Most socs are 3 to join, sports clubs more expensive depending on type of sport and how often you had practise etc. But prices are for the whole year (so if you join the swimming club for 10 you have free access to the swimming pool during training times, even if you don't train with the club).
