Solus is Cardiff University's nightclub. It's a slightly awkward one to review because there are different styles of music and different crowds of people on various nights. Monday: Fun Factory - probably one of the lowest turnouts every week to this night (though that's not to say that it's empty, by any stretch of the imagination). The music here is - slightly - alternative. If bands play, it's often on a Monday night, before Fun Factory itself kicks in. The smaller crowd means that the bars are easily accessible and I always have a great night. Wednesday: The Lash is the new night here, after SInBin died a quite painful death towards the end of last year. It is always RAMMED with sports teams so make sure you're prepared for that. Also, the mix of alcohol and drunk men means you have to be quite on your guard if you're female and... no, just female. The music is mainstream. Friday: Boombox is somehow a let down. I don't know whether it's just because you expect a big night but it somehow is never quite as much fun as... Saturday: Come Play - THE biggest night at the union. Definitely don't go if you aren't feeling up for it because you will be pushed and shoved and probably have a drink spilled on you. Nonetheless, I always have a good time and would recommend it. If you decide to go, though, get tickets in advance because it always sells out. Prices - are roughly around £3.50 for a cardiff student and £4 for a non-student, though fun factory is free. read more
