It's that time of year again, where students are back on campus, and for many, it's the start of an exciting journey. Whether you're stepping into university life for the first time or you're a seasoned student, we understand that managing finances can be quite a challenge. That's why we've put together a list of fantastic free and wallet-friendly activities for students. We're here to show you how to have fun without breaking the bank. Plus, you can find even more ideas on the Chatloop app, where students like you can share plans and recommendations, and share your own experiences.
Museums and Galleries
When it comes to free things to do, museums and galleries are often at the top of the list. Most of them offer free entry unless they’re hosting a special exhibition. So, make the most of your local museums and galleries. If traditional art galleries aren't your thing, look for interactive and fun museums like Eureka, or discover unique niche museums through Chatloop, like The Football Museum.
Movie Nights
Movie nights are a classic way to have fun without breaking the bank. Gather your flatmates or friends at someone's place and ask everyone to bring a movie recommendation. Whether you prefer light-hearted comedies like "Mean Girls" or "Step Brothers" or want something thought-provoking like "Interstellar" or "Dune," movie nights offer something for everyone. You can even mix it up by browsing your chosen streaming service and selecting a film at random.
Games Nights
Game nights add an extra layer of fun to your gatherings. Dust off those board games or explore some exciting new ones on Chatloop. Whether it's a classic game of Monopoly or a modern iPhone game like Heads Up, game nights are a surefire way to have a fun evening with friends without spending a penny
Pub Quiz
While the drinks may not be free, many student bars host free pub quizzes that won't cost you a thing to enter. Gather a group of friends, brainstorm the most bizarre team name you can think of, and put your knowledge to the test. Pub quizzes are a quintessential student activity and a fantastic way to meet fellow students. To save on drinks, consider having a few at home before heading out, or use it as an opportunity to enjoy a sober evening.
Find local and free events on Chatloop
One of the silver linings of being a broke uni student is that you often have access to a range of free events. Universities, brands, and societies recognize that students are on tight budgets and frequently organise events with this in mind. Keep an eye out for on-campus events at your university, consult your students' union events calendar, and explore happenings in your local area. You might stumble upon pop-up shops, free arts shows, festivals, and more! Start your search on Chatloop and expand your network while enjoying cost-free entertainment.
So, there you have it – a treasure trove of free things to do as a student. Embrace these activities to have a fun time without worrying about your wallet. And remember, Chatloop is your go-to platform to discover even more affordable and exciting opportunities to make your university experience unforgettable!
