Oxford ranks fourth most expensive for student nights out at £40.77 to £49.44, 40 per cent more than Liverpool.

Oxford has been ranked the fourth most expensive university zone in the UK for a student night out, according to a University Night Out Price Index created by Sixes Cricket. The index compared costs across 56 university zones, measuring the price of three pints, club entry, a two-mile taxi ride and late-night food.

In Oxford, students can expect to spend between £40.77 and £49.44 for a night out. Oxford's high ranking reflects a median club entry fee of £10, three pints at £19.58, and some of the highest late-night food prices in the UK. This is around 40 per cent more than Liverpool, the cheapest university zone, where three pints cost £14.70 and club entry averages £3.

London was named the most expensive city with a night out costing between £47.30 and £59.05, followed by Cheltenham and Edinburgh. Calum Swan, head of operations at Sixescricket.com, said the cost variation highlighted how student budgets are 'under pressure' and why students may seek alternative ways to socialise without the full price of traditional bar and club nights.
