Weekends are precious – they're the only part of the week when most people can get away with not working, not studying and generally being idle without guilt. However, some ways of using your weekends may be more fullfilling than others… Here are some top student activities, to make sure you get the most out of your deserved two-days off.
1. Travel
Weekends are great for travelling a little further afield. Not only do you get two full days of fun, but travelling also helps to broaden your mind and enrich your life experiences. It’s safe to say that my favorite part of studying abroad was the opportunity to travel around the country by train or bus. And contrary to popular belief, travelling can be student-budget-friendly and eventful at the same time – providing you plan well ahead and know where you’re going!
Go in a group, stay in student hostels and remember to research the destination before you go. Don’t forget to pack a lock – you're going to need it if you want to keep your belongings safe.
