1) The UK has over 20 theme parks. Two of the best to visit, Alton Towers and Thorpe Park, recently opened new rides.
Th13teen at Alton Towers, which cost around £15million to make, reaches speeds of up to 67mph and has been described as "the worlds first psychoaster". However fans of the Saw films may prefer Thorpe Park's new attraction 'SAW ALIVE', a terrifying horror maze of which a video is shown below:
Studentbeans.com and moneysavingexpert have offers and voucher codes available to help save you money, and you can even use Tesco Clubcard points to claim 2for1 vouchers.
2) If you're planning a road trip this summer, Travelodge is selling rooms from £19, but you have to book at least 21 days ahead and availability will inevitably vary from hotel to hotel.
3) After all the stress of essays and exams, a holiday is probably high up on your agenda. Assuming the Icelandic volcano doesn't stop you, student travel specialists STA Travel and hostelbookers offer reasonably priced options for the skint student looking for a last minute trip. Easyjet is another well-priced option.
4) For sporty types, there is plenty going on this summer to keep you occupied that won't cost you any money. Both the World Cup and Wimbledon start in June and coverage will be all over the TV. BBC Sport has more info.
5) The summer months are an ideal time to do some work experience to get you a step ahead on the career ladder. Email and write to employers, visit this website and use your contacts to find the right kind of placement for you.
6) And if you need extra cash? Go to your local temping agency, summerjobs or gumtree to search for a temporary job over the summer.
7) If all else fails, there's always barbeques, festivals, beaches and thousands of parks to spend your summer in!
