I'm not really a fan of going out clubbing and such, but I bought the outgoing master-pass to give it shot anyway. I'd only be cooped up in my room reading a book otherwise. I'm determined to be a bit more extroverted at uni!

I knw what u mean....I haven't bought any of the passes yet coz I contacted student union and apparently they will be releasing tickets and I would prefer to buy individual tickets :smile:

...btw where r u from? Which course will u be doing at uni? :wink:

Yeah, I was thinking about that but I thought it was easier to just have one ticket, plus it would force me to go out a bit more :tongue:

I'm from Horley and I'm staying at monte 1. I'm doing electrical and electronic engineering with foundation year, what about you? :smile:

I feel exactly the same
I really want to meet people, but don't drink or club or whatever
I an studying economics and politics, at mayflower halls, no master passes, I would prefer to go to a hand full of things I think I'll enjoy, so individual tickets make sense

It would be cool to get together with people who feel the same way

Perhaps we could organise something we can do as a collective on this thread? If so that would be awesome

Oh my, it's nice to see a thread like this actually!
I'm not the most outgoing person either, and I'm debating buying an easygoing masterpass (simply because it might help in meeting people when starting Uni--), haven't actually decided if I should yet though. But anyway, not the biggest fan of drinking or clubbing here either.
I'll be studying psychology, and I'm staying in South Hill, which is on the Glen Eyre grounds!

It's nice to meet you all too...! If it ends up being planned, I wouldn't mind meeting with a few people of a similar mindset here-!

yayyyy finally found someone on my course! I am also debating abt masterpass...idk if I should get it or nt...but even If I get one I would prefer easygoing :smile:

...I will be staying at Jellicoe court (glen eyre) :wink:

...I think we should definitely make a group or something on fb as it will help us to get to knw each other...also, have u chosen ur optional modules?? I am so confused abt it :frown:

...how do u get to knw if the opt module that u r choosing doesn't clash wid the timetable (I hope u get what I mean)!...anyways I would love to meet u all..now I am excited abt uni whereas b4 I was thinkig that I am a weirdo as ppl in my halls actually like drinking a lot (I assumed from the convo!! :P)

Yes, hello!! Are you looking forward to starting Psychology? :biggrin:

I think getting an easygoing masterpass would be a decent idea, that's what I'm swaying towards at the moment. At least it'll give things to do for a while, and it's not like it's bad value for money or anything. A facebook group definitely sounds like a good idea though, if anyone can set something like that up (I'm a bit useless when it comes to facebook :') )
Ah, I'm currently considering my optional modules, I have to read up on them a bit more but I'm thinking of going for the criminology one for the first semester, but I'm completely torn for the second. I think what you do is choose a module that you would definitely like to do, then one as a reserve option. That way they can work in what one won't clash with the timetable? I don't believe you know if they clash before choosing. I'm guessing that if both options clash they'll tell you so something can be worked out.
It would be awesome to meet you all...!! I totally agree that it's a bit of a weight off my shoulders to see others like this, it seems like a lot of people were going to go out partying. This is definitely making Uni seem a little less daunting~

This is really awesome
I assume most of us will be arriving on the weekend of the 20th, perhaps we could settle in a bit and all meet up for our own event on one of the weekdays? Monday or tuesday perhaps? I am not sure how the fresher's itinerary works but that should be okay

Facebook group as in group chat? That sounds a good idea
