    **** em. They will be there when you are back for holidays. You are about to embark on probably the best three -five years of your life. I went overseas to university and never seen my family for months, was fantastic!

    That's stupid fear, there is always someone to party with at uni. I went to a uni where I never knew anyone at all. I ended up in a flat with 10 bible bashers and they condemed me for going out and getting drunk. I was shaking in my boots almost and had a decision to make...stay in and talk about the bible or go out and study some girls boobies...I made the right decision. I also turned one of them into a drinker, that was better than getting a 2:1

    You combine the two - get to know your flatmates over predrinks then go out on the lash with them and other students you don't know. Chances are the Student Union will be putting something on anyway.

    Re: What's your biggest uni worry?
    Coin flip between

    1) not making best of the whole uni experience which is supposed to act as a life lesson to me. This said from the introverted social reject.

    2) finishing uni with a degree that is not adequate, be it, not a high enough grade, or not cool enough for potential employers of a field I want to go into to
