What do Muslims do on Freshers Week???

I mean as in they didn't begin uni at the usual fresher age, and therefore never got involved in that stuff.
Anyway, the past is the past. Don't Muslims preach forgiveness?

I have been wondering and everyone is always talking about going out partying and etc etc.
Especially living with non Muslims as well it's gonna be annoying because people are gonna come in drunk/play music/ bring in alcohol etc.
What should I/Muslims do for freshers especially?

Join societies, meet people, try make friends.

Honestly, I didn't do much 'partying' in freshers week, and that was back when I did drink more than I do now - just wasn't a huge drinker.

All of that stuff is optional, no one is going to force you to go out with them. Other than the partying, you'll probably do just the same as everyone else when not partying - trying to meet people and make friends. Get to know the people on your course a little more, explore the Uni and get to grips with (probably) a new city.



This is probably more of a problem long term. If you can't cope with living with a few parties for a week, the next few years is going to be tough on you!

Honestly, I understand your concerns. I got frustrated with flat'mates' who trashed the place when they had parties, and halls with loud music playing throughout the night. It's just something you're going to have to live with.

If it's any consolation, there was much less music and partying compared to my first year out of Uni, where my cheap flat had people on two sides who frequently played music at top volume until 3 or 4am on weekdays when I had to get up for work.

Students were great compared to that, but at least the neighbors didn't leave rubbish in my kitchen.

I'm actually curious now. Do people drink alcohol to mainly get tipsy and party or more for its taste?

Oh my god I think I'm almost definitely going into private accommodation now. Thanks!

Both. Though I'm more about the taste

Private student accommodation will still have other students in it. Unless you mean renting your own place, which, depending on where you go to university, can cost twice as much as halls.

Not for the kuffar.

Well you Gotta do whatchya Gotta do

Well I always hear people saying how nasty alcohol tastes so it's probably just more for social life. Or for emotional state.

Well actually they do

I guess we can take a break from Islam for a day and try a little sip right?

Get in with some mature students like me, they tend to be past the stage of rebelling against their parents and getting drunk and high to prove how insanely cool they are

A day... or longer.

Oooh no... any longer and I'll end up a drunken mess and the women will take advantage of these one night stands.
