Student night, I think not!

When you are a student you get pretty good at going out on a tenner a night, to include to include taxis possibly there and back, entry fee, several drinks and sometimes cheesy chips from a greasy kebab shop. Last night however this was made extremely difficult. 

What I love about student night in Oceana is that if you arrive before 11 it's free entry and drinks are generally pretty cheap. Last night however, as I stood in the que I learnt that this had now changed and that it's £5 entry or £3.50 with a student card - thankfully I had remembered to bring my student card just in case but that's not the point we still had to pay to get in when we were fully prepared not to! Yes I know, £3.50 isn't exactly breaking the bank, I'm a student though remember. It's a good job the my student loan has finally come in.

As I got to the front of the que, I decided in my tipsy sate it was a good idea to ask the mean looking bouncers why exactly all of a sudden we were expected to pay. They pretty much ignored the question, which angered me very much and left me disgustedly moaning about it all the way from the entrance and upstairs to the ice room, where I quickly forgot about the nasty bouncers and headed straight to the bar.

The next shock was the bar prices, since when has 2 drinks for myself and the boyfriend cost me nearly £7 on a student night out in Southampton. Never since the day I came here. I was yet again disgusted and out of money and as we drunkenly left Oceana I realised I had no money for a hot dog from the little man that sells them on the way out or for a taxi home. This angered me further but thankfully my flat mate shared her hot dog around and kindly paid for our taxi home.

I think it's safe to say Oceana knows where it can go from now on I think it's time to go back to Kaos and enjoy their £2 drinks! I'll admit, Oceana wasn't exactly breaking the bank but as I said, we're all students here and I think you'd agree that a student night means being able to pay for everything with just a tenner.
