Non-clubbing/drinking freshers 2014 events?

Are there any events for freshers that do not drink or go to clubs? I'm worried that I can't make friends with other freshers as well, since most events in fresher's week are parties (most of them in clubs), and they're not really my scene. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against them, I just don't find them enjoyable. Is it just me or does anyone else feel the same? :\

I feel exactly the same! Clubs scare me, but when I do go out (which isn't that often) I prefer bars and pubs :smile: what are you studying?

Yeah, I feel the same! I'm commuting as well, so I feel like the only way for me to make friends will be to go to clubs and drink etc. :s-smilie: Hopefully there will be something for us non-drinkers!!

I'm not too fond of drinking and clubs either. I expect there will be a lot more of us than we think.

We all could meet up at some place before uni starts. Which course are you all doing by the way? And are you all in the FB group(s)?

I will be staying with some friends of mine. We haven't found a place yet but we are looking for one. Hopefully we'll have something in a week or two.

Ooh, good luck on finding a place!
No, I'll be commuting as I live about 10 mins away, so I didn't see the point :tongue:
I'm doing Psychology and haven't got a place to live yet haha, should be sorting that in the next week though.
I'm up for a meet up if anyone wants to once September starts.

Do you have a link for the events. All I can find is a facebook page with very little information. The Student Union could do a lot better tbh.

The only events I know of are the ones in the FB group. I tried google but nothing really came up
