first real clubbing experience was awesome. second night of freshers, themed, the night before we'd gone on a pub/house party crawl so already was acquainted with a fair number of people. everyone was excited to be at uni... yeah Although now clubbing is something i'd rather do less often because it makes the times you do it actually stress relieving and fun, instead of predictable and repetitive

[fks92]

Not bad, but glad I did it.

Was quite socially introverted and had never been out drinking - was introduced to all the concepts of drinking in general, drinking games, pre-drinking, dancing and pulling all in one night - not that I experienced all of them

Was 18 and went out in a group with a course I was on - all similar ages and most with experience - I pretended I was one of them and (I think) pulled it off pretty well.

Was pretty full of students when we got there - was a little "tipsy" but not totally drunk, we danced in a group for a bit, wasn't totally sure what to do and kept thinking I looked like an idiot (which didn't help) - people then started pairing off and a few of the guys started pulling - was insanely jealous but also genuinely confused - "they haven't even talked, how is this happening?!" - I tried talking to a couple of the girls but nothing happened - though this was at a time I was very awkward and insanely boring, they were probably just being nice

Glad I did it then before coming to Uni - was more experienced then, knew what to expect and it wasn't as awkward - been out a fair few times since - only really enjoyed it a couple of times - others I just come home somewhat intoxicated after a **** night of either sausagefest or failed pulling thinking "why did I bother?!"

Call me boring, I'd rather stick with beer, pool and mates in the pub - save the club for a group of awesome people when insanely drunk and you know it'll be fun - (yes, "fun")

I was a bit shocked tbh. I expected the music not to be to my taste - i.e. hardcore trance etc etc, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear the likes of Jessie J and Example being played

I went to the pub with some people I had met. It was probably the week after freshers. A woman had made it clear (told her friend who told me) she was into me. She seemed completely nuts, a bit too old for me and a bit too into her friend. But she was also sort of nice and the first woman to show interest in me just from looking at me.

The group then moved onto a club. I hadn't expected to get in because I was 17 but the woman encouraged me too. Inside she disappeared with her friend and one or two others I didn't really know. I stayed with the other freshers. Most of them were worse than me in not knowing what to do with themselves. I would have danced a bit if they had but none did. We stood awkwardly around, had a few drinks then left.

I've since developed confidence and got mates to go out with so had many much better nights. But these days I can't be arsed with many clubs. Good once in a while but I couldn't go out several times a week like I used to because it's so repetitive.

It was ok, very crowded, plenty of times that I went afterwards have never been as busy. I ended up coming home quite early because the girl I went with was complaining she had a headache and the other complained she was tired. Didn't go out with them again once they showed their true colours a few weeks into Uni.

My first time at a club I was at the age of 15, but I had a good fake I.D. and a pair of stiletto heels. Back then as now, I was thoroughly underwhelmed once the thrill of getting in and getting hit on by guys at least ten years older than me, wore off. I drank non-alcoholic pina coladas; didn't want to risk getting drunk, doing something stupid and getting caught. My parents would have killed me if they knew I'd sneaked out, lol. Needless to say, it's a cesspit of brimming desperation, where guys go to get their egos crushed, and girls (even the bridge trolls) get to feel like princesses for a night. If you're lucky, there might be good music.

I wish I had that much sense. I was so drunk I can't remember my first time out night at all

[M4LLY]

My first time was rather random (went with about 5 mates to Plymouth) which was an OK night but the best time i had clubbing was the last day of college before the easter hols about 3/4 weeks ago. I drove down the college, met everyone, skipped lessons, loaded up about 5 cars (inc mine) with Booze and mates then drove down to Plymouth. Got to plymouth at about 1230 pm and just spent the day visiting bars in Plmouth getting hammered before moving onto the clubs as they opened. We were up until about 7am when we all went back to the travelodge to sleep. Honestly, one of, if not THE, best night of my life .

[concubine]

I was 15.


I don't remember.



Not because I got far too intoxicated. It's just... So long ago. ;<




Also, never had to get a fake ID. Yay England (before the absurd CHALLENGE 25 nonsense, that now sees me IDed half the time >_>)

[TheRealDarthVader]

I first went about five years ago. It was so annoying, all these girls kept coming up to me and talking to me. I just wanted to dance and talk to my friends. Other people can be so selfish.

[Dorito]

my first time clubbing ended in my hugging the girl I really liked at the time at 2:00am thanking her so much for coming out and telling her she looked beautiful whilst begging her not to go home... ahhh, wow. My first time at Uni was terrible, we ended up in a crap club that was stupidly expensive and I didn't enjoy myself at all.

Thankfully after a few weeks we knew where was good and on what days so most of my clubbing experiences since have been pretty good. It's hit and miss though, I have to be in the right mood for clubbing... although saying that, spontaneous nights out are always the best.

[Dorito]

this thread has got me feeling nostalgic about some awesome uni nights out.

I'll share my favourite night out with you, basically I was planning on staying in until my coursemate rang me and asked me if I wanted to go out that night with a few other people off my course, since I had the next day off I decided to go out so I legged it down to the shop, got some beer in, legged it back, got changed and headed to my mates for pre-drinks. The arrangements were so last minute so we had to head down to the club pretty sharpish which resulted in all of us downing too much far too soon. When we arrived at the club we lost each other immediately in our drunken state, I vaguely remember me and one of my coursemates woefully chatting up some girls, before we all refound each other and danced for 2 hours non-stop with the vodka flowing. Closing time came and once again I got separated from everyone and tried to describe where I was to my friend by reading the number plate of a nearby car. Obviously this master plan didn't work so I headed home until my mate drove past in a taxi, picked me up and took me home. The next day I woke up on my bedroom floor with my bathroom covered in sick... I headed to the kitchen to find my coursemate lying on the kitchen floor holding a bottle of Lambrini moaning that he doesn't want to drink again. We went out later that evening.

My first couple of times "clubbing" was getting into Candy Bar in Soho. The first time I did that I was 17, it was my friend's 18th and there was a pole dancing night on in the basement o.0 After the bouncer changed, I didn't get in again until I was 18.

My first legal night out was going to Ku Bar on boxing day a few days after turning 18 (where I discovered that making out with more than one person in a night is a BAD idea especially when you get caught!) and my first trip to an actual club was to KOKO.

I generally only really tolerate clubbing when it isn't too serious. Cheesy music is good for me. I like it but in moderation, maximum a couple of times a month...

[flowermaster91]

it was bare **** man, man couldve been watching eastenders at the time. What the rass is the point of going clubbing if you're not going to dance

[failingatm]

I don't remember much of it tbh

[cl_steele]

all i remember was wakming up with a rather nasty head ache, aside from that the rest is a blur..

[effofex]

I accidentally went to a club last night. I thought it was for a social function which just happened to be held in a club, but after 10pm the music became really loud.

I didn't really like it because the music is too loud to hear people when they are talking so you have to shout, which hurts my throat.

What confuses me is that when I left at 12pm there were LOADS of people queueing up outside (who had been standing there for nearly an hour!) AND who were willing to pay money just to enter! I would never pay, since I have a group membership meaning I can enter such venues for free.

[Origami Bullets]

I had a tee-total boyfriend at the time, and I went out with him and a lot of mutual friends. As he didn't drink, I barely drank anything. We went to Oceana, which was chavvy as, and I didn't have the alcohol to take the edge of how grim it is!

Things improved after I broke up with him!

[emclme]

It was okay, I was 16 when I first went so it was quite fun but I'm not the typical student, out-every-night type. Everyone else seems to find it really good but I would much rather stay in tbf. God, I sound sad.

[mike101]

I was in sixth form, was bored, really bored in fact. The people I went with could tell too, stayed out until about 3 still.

I've had some really good nights since though, mostly when I am pretty drunk before going into the club because I don't really do dancing.

I'd much rather go to a few bars though, or something cheesy like an 80's disco place or karaoke, I do a mean chelsea dagger
