University: 'the best years of your life'.

At least that's what everyone seems to say! Students are always hearing adults banging on about how their time at university passed by in the blink of an eye, and how they wished they'd done more when they were there. Well it's true that for most people that their university experience only lasts 3 years. In the grand scheme of things this really isn't very much time at all. So don't let it go to waste!

To ensure that you leave university with no regrets, here at the Huffington Post we have come up with a University Bucket List. On this list are 30 tasks to complete before you start life in 'the real world'. By ticking them all off, then hopefully you will also leave university with fond memories.
