At Unilife we understand the challenges our students can face while studying. That’s why we strive to create a welcoming and supportive community for all our residents. With the pressures of coursework and exams, it's important for student couples to make time for another. Between deadlines and studying, it’s hard to find time to have fun. That's why we’ve put together 5 fun date ideas to help you enjoy the sights of Winchester together and take a break from the stress.
Spend an afternoon exploring the independent bookshops in Winchester, like P&G Wells and The Winchester Bookshop. Browse for new books, share some of your favourites with each other, or even pick out a book for one another. It’s a cosy and affordable way to spend time together.
Wrap up warm and head out for a scenic winter hike at St. Catherine’s Hill or along the South Downs Way. The views are breathtaking, and it’s a perfect way to enjoy some fresh air, get active, and take a break from studies whilst being surrounded by nature.
