- Bars:
- The number of sites causes the main problems here. The fact that Middlesex attracts a lot of local students also means that socially it isn't able to rival a campus based university. There are union-run bars at Enfield, Trent Park, Tottenham and Bounds Green. These are all OK but the Enfield site is the best. The bar is a good size and pretty lively. The university runs some other bars, these are more expensive though.
Students we spoke to said that the best site to be at would be Trent Park as it has the best facilities. This isn't very helpful if your subject is taught elsewhere but Hey-ho. Bounds Green is 80% male. Take this as good or bad news!

- Functions:
- Ents are surprisingly good given the site set-up and disparate nature of Middlesex. There is a function just about every night but they vary in location. As a basic rule, Tottenham, Trent Park and Enfield have the monopoly on activity so if you are at any of these sites you should be OK for fun things to do in the evenings. There is a good Wednesday night function called Half-Time for sports players. They are more likely to be drowning their sorrows rather than celebrating though. Cheese and disco prevail otherwise with Top Dollar and Dom1.

- Major Social Events:
- Sports clubs and big societies will have their own major social functions and there is the Middlesex Summer Festival. A large stage is set up in Trent park campus and a handful of big name bands play the night away, this is accompanied by the standard barbeque and multiple outdoor bars along with the Trent park student bar and smaller band tents.

- Clubs & Societies:
- Life-drawing is the most intriguing. Again, the problem of students being so spread about is telling. There should be at least something to interest you though. Sports clubs are quite well organised and can be an excellent social platform.
