Much
like any other `uni town`, Middlesbrough has a few famous night outs.
Whether you’re into indie, chart or cheese- there’s guaranteed to
be somewhere for you and your fellow uni-goers to hit the buckets and
to go for a boogie. It’s easy to suss the best places once you’re
there- gossip spreads fast, and if you’re living in halls, you’ll
be forever tripping over promotional flyers on your way home.
Here’s
a few that will be on everybody’s
lips.
Choose wisely…
Dirty Disco at Teesside University’s SU
Whether
you’re starting there or staying for the night, the SU always has a
warm vibe. Dirty Disco is popular for its themed nights, which chop
and change throughout the year. Look out for geek night, foam party
and UV paint party- there’s no end of sweaty dance floors, hot
pants and cheap, cold beer. It’s the Welcome Wagon on the 27th;
who better to wear in the baby freshers than Greg James and Example?
