Have you been to the freshers fair? Was there anything to do with volunteering with the Police? What societes have you joined?


The police do take on students as Special Constables - I had a friend who did it for Avon and Somerset Constabulary whilst he was a student :yep:

What do you do when you volunteer? How much time a week do you have to give? Do you need to pass fitness tests and stuff like that? Do you get a free uniform?

I can't say I know much about it really, but he used to go out on patrol as a normal copper would - he had a warrant card and full powers of arrest. He definitely got a uniform too - I remember him saying that he had had a repairman round who was utterly convinced that the policeman's hat in the hallway must have been nicked!

At the point where I knew him, he was taking an interruption of studies (mid uni gap year) but he never mentioned it as having taken up too much time whilst he was studying.

Do you know people who don't drink or go clubbing, are they able to enjoy themselves and socialise?

Hey!
So, I have been posting in the Freshers blogs section, but I thought it'd be cool to do some Q&A!
I never saw anyone do this before I came to Uni (it is possible that I've missed them) so I thought I'd try to be a helping hand for others!

Feel free to ask me anything and I'll do my best to answer!

Yes probably a lot of people love uni especially freshers but don't be worried if freshers isn't what you thought it would be...
