Hi! I'm going to uni of bristol in september and am in the same boat. I don't mind social drinks but am not the biggest fan of clubbing. As far as I know, the SU has loads of low/no alcahol events running throughout freshers week which might be worth checking out, some do cost money but a good number don't!
Itd be great to get to know each other esp as we have similar opinions on clubbing! What course are you studying? Im taking Physics!

hey! i’ll send you a message

hiii! im with you on this too im also a little scared about not wanting to go to bars and clubs but i think that there will be more people like us around

I'm not a big fan of clubbing. I was dragged (kicking and screaming haha) by my ex a few times to clubs and it just wasn't my thing. Too crowded, too loud, dislike the music, not a big fan of dancing, I like alcohol myself but I don't like just how drunk everyone is, the bathrooms are really dirty and oh, what's that? Well it's a psycho snorting some drugs from a toilet seat! Clubs are really rim places if you actually look at them with sober eyes...

You're not alone in not being a big fan of clubbing or partying, as you can see from my post and others from this thread. I'm sure you'll be able to find like-minded people in university, or at the very least be able to join the people going to clubbing in their pre-club shenanigans - they generally do involve alcohol but it tends to be a more relaxed, chilling out affair. That bit I did like.

Hope you have a blast at Bristol!
