I don't drink but the problem is I want to go out and make friends and be sociable and I have no problems with who drink. But the freshers events listed in Aston FB page is mostly involves drinking. I don't know what to do, don't want to be the one sitting at halls all day during the week and while everyone is making friends and getting into groups :frown:
Anybody going to Nottingham?

I'm sure there will be other people like you - you can't be the only one! Try to connect with people online before you go.. you might be able to arrange some alternative nights. :smile:

Hello, I'm going to Leeds uni and am definitely more of a tea drinker than an alcohol drinker. My drink limit is 2 drinks once a week (and then I start falling asleep, because I'm old) :biggrin:


Hi! I'm going Leeds too :smile: I don't drink alcohol at all :/ Worried about Freshers Week as it seems like its mainly about drinking. What you studying?

Apple juice here please :h:
Are any of you kindred-spirits going to King's College London?

I'm truly dreading Fresher's Week, what with not being a drinker and having never been to a club in my life (and don't wish to!) me thinks I'll end up hiding in my room thus becoming a recluse...

Oh woe is me! :sad:

I'm not a drinker. The thing that worries me isn't going to clubs, thats fine cos you can just not drink there. But what do you do when everyone on your floor is playing a communal drinking game?

Here's to this mighty thread! *raises glass of strawberry smoothie*

Ahem. Anyone off to Exeter?
Way too many club nights/pub crawls on my freshers list.

Alcohol is not my drug of choice at all. Not looking forward to freshers too much :frown:

You could always stick to soft drinks. I doubt you'd be the only one who doesn't want to get smashed. I plan to do the same on the doctors and nurses pub crawl (that medical students seem to be so fond of) :redface:
Seeing this thread is a great relief! =) I'm actually a bit worried about freshers because of the amount of alcohol likely to be involved...:eek:

Anyone here off to Durham?

I'm Durham-bound. I don't drink due to health reasons, slightly worried about freshers too! I'd be happy to make friends I can hang around watching films with or chatting, bars and pubs are usually a bit noisy for me.

Ooh, I didn't see that you'd posted before I had; hello, more Durham people! As for me, I'm going to be at Hild Bede.

Same reason for me. No drink is ever a good drink. Unless it's tiny. Sounds like a great alternative!
