9 Cheap dates for Students

As Valentine's Day draws closer, and the pinch of our student loans rapidly running dry, our other half may or may not be too satisfied with another night doing nothing. Why not try these student-focused date ideas?! (Special thanks to Alex for letting me showcase these embarrassing old images of us!)

1. Take a walk
Every university city has something exciting to offer you can't see anywhere else. Whether it be natural beauty, historic features, architectural feats - there is something in your city to walk to and see. Even if it just be what your city looks like in snow.





2. Home cooked meal
This is a great way to sit down and get to know each other - plus a great way to flaunt your cooking skills! (
 



3. Game/Movie night
Assassins Creed is at the top of the list for my favourite game to play together. He's good at large scale fights, but I rule when it comes to stealth missions: together we make one passable assassin! Wether it be a console game, a PC of even a board game, you're bound to find something that entertains you!

Failing that, cuddling up to a good movie is a safe bet. (Alex, I'm sorry for making you watch Frozen, but hey, Love is an open Doooooooooor!!)

4. Study buddies
For your inner geek! Or a date when finals are drawing ever nearer! Get your work done whilst spending time together :) I promise its more fun than we make it look!







5. Play games
We've already mentioned board games and video games; but there's plenty more out there! I used to like Nerf til he got a semi-automatic gun that fire 48 bullets in 15 seconds.....







6. Beach
A walk along the beach may sound cheesy, but a change of scenery can bring up stories you never even thought of sharing. Plus you cant beat a good ice cream while topping up your tan!

7. Stargazing
Another cheesy date - but all the best ones are! Find yourself a steep hill in the dead of night, snuggle up with a blanket and just watch the world go by

8. Sledding
Seasonal date, obviously, but with the upcoming warnings this may become inevitable! Building snowmen and having snowball fights can also be incredibly fun (if he lets you win!)





9. Local events
Most universities or the nearest city have events going on that will appeal to anyone! Here we are at the Red Bull Soap Box Derby Race, only £10! Check your local media and try something new!
