Student Guides

Moving to a new city or town can be a daunting prospect for lots of new students so, here at Arriva, we’ve asked those with a bit more experience to share their tips and advice on the best places to go.

Students from all over the country have nominated desirable shops, cool clubs, fun bars, good restaurants, top sights and favourite hang outs to help give you the low-down on your new home town. We’ve uncovered everything from fancy dress shops to hidden restaurants and fun festivals to help make your first few months a little easier.
