Wolverhampton is the home of the famous Banks's Brewery and as such, you get a high class pint of beer here. It's more of an industrial town rather than nice country town, but that means that you get lots of local colour and the city is teeming with bars, pubs and clubs.

For some reason, every time you venture into the city it starts to rain, I don't know whether this is because god is trying to convince me that skipping lectures isn't a good idea, or whether it just always rains in Wolves. You do get an excellent calibre of ale though to warm you up once you've got out of the rain, in fact, many of the local pubs have got awards from CAMRA, the campaign for real ale, which says a lot.

Really, there isn't a lack of anything to do here, the clubs are quite cool, albeit slightly cheesy, and there are museums and theatres, but most of the local populace spend most of their free time in the pub. There are so many pubs that you don't know which to go into, although you can bet that your local is extremely serviceable and stumbling distance from home. There's a good array of curries and other dishes as well, and all for a decent price.

In addition, the university has a very active students union with excellent music nights and great bars.
