During your time at Teesside Uni, you will spend a considerable amount of time at the library, in lectures and probably in bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may find yourself with a quite a bit of free time and you can\u2019t go to the pub every time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here a few things you can do and see in the surrounding area – having a car would help.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Go to Freshers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Teesside University, Middlesbrough<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a first year student, away from home, then get yourself out there.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to need to make friends if you want to survive three whole years.<\/p>\n

This is the perfect opportunity to get to know your flatmates, your course mates and any other potential people you\u2019d like to spend time with.<\/p>\n

A fresher\u2019s pass will get you into two weeks\u2019 worth of events, along with other free goodies.<\/p>\n

Walk up Roseberry Topping<\/strong><\/span>
\nNewton under Roseberry, near Great Ayton<\/p>\n

If you poke your head out of your bedroom window and look southwards, you might be able to see this Teesside landmark.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a rather large hill with a distinctive peak and, for many locals, climbing it is a mini-achievement.<\/p>\n

I would recommend walking up on a sunny day, perhaps even with a picnic.<\/p>\n

Have a Lemon Top at Paccito\u2019s<\/strong><\/span>
\nRedcar<\/p>\n

The Lemon Top is an absolute staple of Teesside summertime.<\/p>\n

A plain vanilla ice cream but with an added layer of lemon sorbet, the mix of flavours create a very unique ice cream sensation.<\/p>\n

As Redcar is the closest seaside town to Middlesbrough, it would be a shame to never visit.<\/p>\n

Eat fish and chips at The Seaview<\/strong><\/span>
\nSaltburn<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the option to sit in and sample a number of seafood dishes on the menu, or you can visit the small takeaway section to the side.<\/p>\n

Fish and chips are traditionally eaten on the go, so grab them from the side, sprinkle some salt, drown in vinegar and enjoy.<\/p>\n

The Saltburn pier is just outside, so try a lovely stroll up and down it once finished.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Discover Middlesbrough at the Dorman museum<\/strong><\/span>
\nMiddlesbrough<\/p>\n

Located just outside the northern entrance to Albert Park, this is easily accessible for all students.<\/p>\n

Detailing the historical relevance of Middlesbrough, it aims to highlight all the good to come out of the town.<\/p>\n

Featuring such exhibits \u201820th-century Women\u2019, \u2018Earth in Space\u2019 and \u2018H20\u2019, there\u2019s an opportunity for everyone to learn something.<\/p>\n

It costs absolutely nothing to visit, so there\u2019s no reason not to go.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Visit High Force waterfall<\/strong><\/span>
\nMiddleton-in-Teesdale, Barnard Castle<\/span><\/p>\n

The River Tees is seen at its most spectacular as it comes flooding down this waterfall.<\/p>\n

It can be witnessed from both the northern and southern banks – the northern carries a \u00a31.50 charge, while the southern is free.<\/p>\n

The waterfall is over 70 feet in height, with famous painter JMW Turner once coming to sketch the scene.<\/p>\n
