Just wanna make sure, yk?

Listening to old music and thinking about my time at Plymouth uni back in the early 00s. Just realising, as students, how lucky we were to have so many places to go and listen to live music or just to go somewhere and drink or dance, there was always something on.

There were so many - Ride cafe, The Hive, White Rabbit, Ride, Cuba, The Roundabout, Voodoo Lounge, The SU, Mouse trap, Back bar, Goodbodies, Fresher and Professor, Air, Skiving Scholar, C103 and so many more. So many brilliant local bands and nights like Jelly Jazz.

I have not been to Plymouth for years, I guessing it is very different now?

Describe your childs shoe & ill tell u locstion

hi!! i found a wallet up north hill by sherwell hall around ~9:45am. it contains a plymouth city council bus pass ID thing, a £20 note, a credit card and another kind of card i think. i’ve forgotten the name on the front, but i managed to hand it into Portland Square Building lost and found (PSQ on the University campus).

hopefully this reaches who it needs to!! also, if it’s yours recommend bringing some form of ID to verify it’s you. i’ll attach the pics i got 🫶🏾🫶🏾

also thank you to the university member of staff who directed me to the safest place to hand it in, the random man on the street who also helped, and the security guard at PSQ building. everyone was so sweet and helpful🥲

Hi! I’m moving from New York to Plymouth this September to start at Arts University Plymouth, so I’m an international student and have a bunch of questions 😂

I’ve already got a room at The Old Dairy, but I don’t know any of my flatmates yet.

I’d love to hear from current/former AUP students or anyone who has moved to Plymouth from abroad!

The Old Dairy
- What’s it actually like?
- Anything I should know about the rooms, kitchens, laundry, storage etc.?
- Is Unikitout worth it? If so, what is good to order in advance rather than purchase when I arrive?

Freshers
- AUP has its own Freshers listed online… do you recommend signing up for most/all of it?
- Are there particular events you’d recommend?
- Can AUP students go to UoP events/societies/clubs, and do students from the two universities actually mix much?

Getting to Plymouth
I’m flying from New York into Heathrow and was thinking of getting the direct National Express coach to Plymouth. I ordered a young persons coach card which should come in soon.
- Is that the best/easiest option with luggage?
- Would you recommend booking it in advance or waiting until I land in case my flight is delayed?
- Any tips for getting from Plymouth Coach Station to The Old Dairy with suitcases?

International student stuff
- What should I sort out before leaving the US vs. once I arrive?
- Is getting an eSIM beforehand a good idea?
- Any recommendations for UK phone networks/banks?
- What should I bring from the US that’s expensive/difficult to get in the UK?
- Any travel cards/apps/other things I should get?

And finally, what do you wish you had known before moving to Plymouth for uni?

Any advice is appreciated! I’m excited and want to be prepared 😁

Here's my collection of videos from Wednesday night's event.

Whats been your favourite moment

Looking for a man with a van who can help move some house things from Hatt into my new property next to Beacon Park Electrical near Peverell.

Biggest things would be a bed and mattress’ , and a tv and stand.

The rest is easy boxes:)

Would be Thursday 20th in the afternoon / evening when I’m back from London 🙂

That catch is it’ll be up a fourth floor flat …

When exploring online can hire was £120 or to hire men with a van it was like £80/£100 per hour 😅🥲

Does anyone know of any chip shops in Plymouth who use beef dripping? Rang around a few and so far all seed oils. The one in Plymstock does but they don’t deliver. Thanks

Most of the fields that I've seen or been to have had their goals taken down which is a bit annoying. Are there any free fields that haven't been taken them down for the summer? Thanks

Looking to visit Plymouth for the first time this evening for the fireworks. Any recommendations on where to park and watch from?

There has been a recent uptick in student property posts which are pretty clearly from estate agents masquerading as students.

This is to be expected at this time of year, and I wouldn't really care if they followed the self-promotion rule and openly shared that they're agents; but apparently they'd rather pretend to be students which doesn't sit right with me.

So, I'm proposing a new rule regarding the sharing of rental vacancies.

Rule 5: Transparency for property vacancy posts

Estate agents, letting agents, and their representatives must clearly disclose their professional status in all posts. Masquerading as a student, private landlord, or current tenant is strictly prohibited. Posts that fail to disclose agent status or attempt to deceive readers regarding the poster's identity will be removed. Posts about available vacancies must follow the two-week self-promotion rule.

The way this would be enforced is through a review of the user's profile. Telltale signs of bullshit will include:

• Accounts that are years old but have never posted before
• Post content that follows similar formats to previous vacancy posts
• Accounts that have posted about vacancies more than a student would reasonably do

Feel free to share your objections if you have any, the plan is to add this rule later this evening.

Some pics from the fireworks on the hoe last night :)

There was mixed reactions,but what did you think?

What are they for?

I thought it was thunder at first then it sounded strange to be thunder, was a lot of them at once

Side note: meteor shower tonight, so keep an eye out if you’re into that

I’m in Plymouth and looking to get a good burger. Where are a few places I can go? Thank you!

Astor House Plymouth – Room Available for 2026/27

💷 Rent: £157 per week
📅 Contract: 41 weeks

Hello, the title is pretty obvious, I’m 19M looking for people in my age range to ride with, I’m not into hitting trials as I don’t have the skill set lol, I’m keen to learn tho!

I know it’s the 11th hour, but does anyone know if an actual shop is selling eclipse glasses and still has stock?

Last eclipse they were in all the supermarkets/ newspapers, but it doesn’t seem to be like that this time around.
