You realise thats ridiculasly good compared to other uni's!

And "Squids" is Quids, which means most drinks are £1. Try the Polar Bear on thursdays and Loaded Dog on sundays, both have Quids!

Yeh but I go to them all the time anyway, just nothing on the list hardly stands out or anything. Looks ok, just nothing special in particular.

Plus I hate liquid with a passion :frown:

Wow that looks rubbish. It's just the same thing they have on every week except with Zane Lowe, the Vengaboys and S Club. Awesome. I'll probs go to that Oktoberfest thing but thats it. For freshers I suggest that once you have got over the initial buzz of the union check out what is going on at superfly, sophbeck, club audio, isu etc. There is probably some better stuff happening in the city than at the uni.

I'm deffo not going to everything, but I'll certainly go to the Welcome Party, Oktoberfest, and the S Club thing :p:

I just don't want to spend all my money on alcohol, before uni's even begun. How can you "get to know" people with loud music and stuff? I'm more of a "having a chat down the pub" type of person.

Likewise,

Oktoberfest is definitely on the calendar though! Provided they provide some decent beers rather than the crappy brand lagers we're normally forced to resort to...

The Loaded Dog is also beginning to sound like my sort of place =]

Indeed. Bavarian beer for the win!

I also really want to go to the International Night for Erasmus students etc! But would us UK-ers be allowed?!

I guess so, no reason why they'd refuse paying customers, right?

I think the idea of the global night is for the UK and Erasmus/International students to mix.

Also, I'm liking the sound of the beer :P

Trust me, if there are no dedicated fancy dress nights during freshers, there will be atleast one every single week thereafter. Fancy dress events and bar crawls are a weekly occurance. Virtually every event seems to be one or the other, and occassionally both!

You'll be sick of them by the end of the year :smile:

Even if there is nothing listed as fancy dress by the union, in addition to the University events, there will be Hall events which are put on for you by your JCR. These will be things like pub quizzes, fancy dress events, film nights etc etc.
