One of The Guardians top ten UK craft beer bars, it offers beer from all over the world including local breweries such as Saltaire Brewery and Salamander.

MATTHEW HALLIDAY, CHIEF TASTER AT BRADFORD BREWERY M

BRADFORD BREWERY This Autumn will see the return of brewing to the centre of Bradford for the first time in half a century. Bradford Brewery and The Brewfactory, the brewery’s on-site craft beer bar, will showcase some of the UK’s best beers in a modern, industrial setting more typical of venues in Leeds and London. You’ll be able to order a pint of Bradford beer whilst watching the brewers do their magic. And best of all we’ve offered 10% discount on food and drink for students all day every day. What’s not to like! @bradfordbrewery

CAFE W C

@ WATERSTONES

The Wool Exchange, Hustlergate, Bradford BD1 1BL

waterstones.com

WHAT'S TO SEE & DO... Bradford must surely lay claim to one of the most the most beautiful bookshops in the country. Set inside the grand gothic-style Wool Exchange building, Bradford Waterstones is a magnificent cathedral of books with huge stone pillars and sweeping archways creating an air of Hogwarts in the centre of Bradford. Indeed, Michael Palin once remarked how it made the Sistine Chapel look like Grimsby bus station. That might be a little tongue in cheek, but as the former epicentre of Bradford’s wool trade it is suitably lavish. On the first floor mezzanine sits the Waterstones café, selling coffee and cake to accompany you as you merrily thumb through your latest purchase. There really is no better way to unwind on a dreary afternoon.

BEST TIME TO VISIT Put aside an hour or two to relax with a great book on a quiet afternoon.

STUDENT LIFE HACKS BY ELLY PARKINSON B

WAKE UP Always sleeping through your alarm? Place your phone in an empty cup before bed and it will act as an amplifier. Alternatively, place it on the other side of the room so that you have to get up to turn it off. COOK CLEVER

A big fan of pasta? Put a wooden spoon over the top of a pan to stop the water boiling over.

SHOP WELL Want a cheap shopping trip? Visit supermarkets on a Sunday before closing for the best deals. REWIRE Are your wires in a jumble? Attach bulldog clips to your desk and hook the wires through for easy finding. KEEP IT CLEAN Do you want to keep a clean fridge? Just wrap the shelves in cling film and when it gets dirty replace it. HANG ‘EM UP Need a bigger wardrobe? Use the ring pulls off of drinks cans and attach to hangers to make double hangers.

BUDGET Work out a budget for fresher’s week so that you don’t spend all your money at once.

REFRESH Cut lemon into slices and freeze for refreshing cold drinks. GET CONNECTED Get the Wi-Fi password to most establishments by checking the comments on Foursquare.

BREAK IT UP Take better notes by pretending they are for someone else, use lots of colours and take regular breaks.
