no it isnt, thats a room from nottingham, as my mate goes to nottingham trent uni and i went down there to see another friend for the weekend

No way! Just had another look and it is almost identical to the Sheff rooms, except the drawers under the desk. In Sheffield there are three drawers not one but other than that they're the same... even the building outside look like the ones in Sheffield.

Cows used to mysteriously find their way into the lifts of Castle Leazes Halls, Newcastle and find little to do as they wandered around the upper floors.

Backing a cow out of a lift can also be surprisingly interesting to watch/achieve.

At least they were never put in the Claremont Paternoster

Mine would be the usual affairs, but some things warrant a mention:

I was so drunk once, no memory of the night before, I was told the next morning that at one point I thought I was part of the Dharma Initiative and was running around saying that we need to go back in time and save the world. I did love Lost.

Other incidents include running around a night club pretending my phone was a gun, shooting bouncers.

it was st patricks day, and the night before the start of an ultimate frisbee tournamet hosted by my university.

one of my irish team mates brothers had brought his team down to lincoln for the tournament a day early,
and so he hosted a huge party in his flat,
literally had over 100 people there, pretty mugh everone in his block, plus both of the frisbee teams,
we had all dressed up cause it was st paddy's day and so there were a load of aewsome costumes.

we have a running game that we play on all frisbee related socials which entails anyone who spills or drops thier drink has to to drink the rest from a small pair of boots, or if we dont have them with us they have to drink from thier own shoe lol, the person who had to drink from the boots has to keep them around his/ her neck till the next person drops or spills thier drink.

as you may be able to imagine this causes lots of people to get drunk quite quickly.

the night quicky became very messay and so we decided to have a massive game of beer pong in the stairwell, so we brought out a few tables from the flats and played a 15 a side beer pong game,
it was awesome,
after this we went back to 'the frisbee house' and played more drinking games till about 5am

the next night was the tournament party, and we made all of the other teams drink thier drinks out of thier shoes if the dropped them lol


on a seperate story we have set up a food challenge series, including speed eating and endurance eating,
for exampole the 40 mc nuggett challenge,
the gateaux challenge,
and the curry/chillies eating challenge, i came 3rd in this one!

anyways there are lot more stories but not enough time to tell them all!

:O I was there!

this isnt my story, but one of my friends' flatmates put an add on gumtree advertising a gardener for £1.50 an hour and put my friends phone number,

Just done Bitesize Uni at Newcastle and all we heard from the reps was this story!

Oh and a word of warning for ANYONE going to Castle Leazes! Don't forget your door key when you go in the shower, I did and ended up having to run to reception in a towel to try and get a spare key... never been laughed at so much in my life hahaha

I did a year of Law in Sheffield, before dropping out because of the god-awful course organisation and generally hating the subject....

All of the following happened to me:

* Halloween - I'm sat in my room, finishing some reading before going out and only have my bedside lamp on. All of a sudden; my door bursts open. It's my flatmate: wearing a vampire mask with a hoodie pulled up, waving a lightsaber, and some form of tentacle costume. Obviously because it was quite dark I couldn't see much and wasn't expecting it. I scream and jump off my bed, run over and try to punch him before he reveals who he is. My other flatmate was wetting himself with laughter in the corridor. Turns out they'd gone into the city centre shopping, found a discarded Octopus costume in the streets (hence, the tentacles) after a parade; and decided to surprise me. I didn't live it down for the rest of that first term...

* I lived in Opal accommodation in Sheffield with electronic tag locks. One day, I come home with a bag full of books so take the lift to the third floor. I go to my flat, undo the door and go into the kitchen. Which contains a weights bench and is actually tidy. It's only when an asian guy comes out of the room that should've been mine, and starts shouting, that I realise I've gotten into the wrong flat! Yeah - I'd gone to the second floor, not the third. Two days later; flatmates somehow do the same thing - and we get a visit from the Hall Manager "warning" us about breaking and entering. Even though the tags LET us in.

* We somehow got a bench, from the park across the road, into our flat during Freshers Week. As mentioned: it was the third floor. No one knew how it got there. It stayed in the living room until second term when it "disappeared".

God, I can't wait to be a fresher again.

Know a couple of people whom last year, managed to find themselves banned from every night club/pub in Dundee city centre!

[Blueflare]

Two of my flatmates in first year had sex up a tree.

Ok in my first year at uni in London, I lived in halls which were the otherside of Hyde park from my Student union. Now this is normally no problem, however on the night in question it turned out to be my downfall! Now let me set the scene. It's dark, it's hot, i'm sweaty, there's people bumping and grinding all around me! I look to my left and there is this girl grindin on my leg in can what only be described as a tea towel and bra and a guy to my left in all black and a smidgen of white!

I look again...can it be... yes it's a vicar!

I look around and as the haze begins to settle I see hundreds of vicars and a large splattering of skimpy attire aka tea towels... Then I remember oh yeah I'm at a tarts and Vicars party and it's not my lucky day but the lass and the Vicar who are bumping and grinding me are not looking for some kind of kinky role playing three some but in fact me fellow hall mates. So we continue to dance and drink the night away!

The student union closes and we stumble to the fence around Hyde Park! Now your not supposed to walk through hyde park at night! But being drunk and it being the quickest way to get from A to B we hopped over the fence! Now this is where it got 'interesting' so we are walking home and we see the spot lights of the police who patrol the park at night, so we jump into some bushes trying to avoid them! But of course they spot us.... drunks are not good at subtlety! Now when they arrive there is three of us lying on the muddy ground dressed like who knows what! And low and behold Isla ( the girl in this story) has managed to knock herself out on the dive into the bushes! We didn't know this until the officer tried to get her up, at which point he started seriously grilling us about what we were doing with an unconcious girl in the bushes at night! We obviously told them the truth, but they didn't believe us and swiftly arrested us and put Isla in an ambulance! The next morning we got questioned and Isla obviously told them what had happened! But oh my what a night!

Legend I hope I get a story like this
