Re: What do you ACTUALLY do on the first few days of uni?I'm not actually doing the poster thing(Original post by britchick)
Hahaha I actually love the poster idea, I would do it myself. But I'm not sure others would find it very cool/normal.
hopefully my chicken doorstop will be inviting enough

Re: What do you ACTUALLY do on the first few days of uni?Don't forget the rules list and fire extinguisher instructions so that everyone knows where they stand!(Original post by britchick)

Re: What do you ACTUALLY do on the first few days of uni?I have also seen someone with the username PaedoBear before. Don't worry, I'm quite convinced username does not define origin/species.(Original post by IlexBlue)
If you apply this theory to everyone then apparently I'm a blue plant. -

Re: What do you ACTUALLY do on the first few days of uni?Absolutely! And a list of food allergies so people know what food they need to avoid buying, because I'm a food stealer and I'd hate for them to buy something I'm allergic to and kill me. So inconvenient.(Original post by britchick)

Re: What do you ACTUALLY do on the first few days of uni?Oh gosh that is definitely a must! I'd hate to be inconsiderate and not tell them which food they may or may not eat. Just looking out for the general well-being of the group.(Original post by madders94)

Re: What do you ACTUALLY do on the first few days of uni?Aha I know once I get some drink in me everything will be fine, but I'm really shy around new people, and the first meeting of new people makes me feel really awkward and this is all of that to the extreme! D:(Original post by Batmonkey)
I really wouldn't worry about it,I know it might seem daunting but once people start drinking and socialising it's really great and you'll make lots of friends

Re: What do you ACTUALLY do on the first few days of uni?It's so important to establish a good group dynamic. God, we're going to be idolized by our flatmates.(Original post by britchick)

Re: What do you ACTUALLY do on the first few days of uni?I don't care who you are, nobody is going to say no to being my friend when I whip this out.
I just hope it survives the journey in the car.

If my flatmates don't vote for me as Flatmate Queen (ballots will be handed out after a couple of hours once we've got to know each other and discussed my own eating preferences etc.) I literally won't know what I've been doing wrong.(Original post by madders94)
