Hey i'm a 2nd year mathematical physics student and i'm moving back into halls this year as I did enjoy the luxury off no cooking, being only 2 min away from lecture halls etc. i'm not really a drinker myself, I do like the occasional cider but not really into the clubbing and getting smashed scene. i'm in Hugh stewart hall. are u in halls? If so which one? :smile:


Very nice! I'm in self catered accommodation, BGP to be exact :biggrin:

Physics so not too much different. :smile: Are you planning on going to many of the "club" freshers events? I was thinking of doing a few but also planning on going to the Star Trek screening. :biggrin:

Very nice! And I'm not sure, they all seem interesting but I think I want to see one of the movie screenings and the comedy night too, not too sure if I'll go to the finale either

I've booked the finale, even though I wasn't totally sure about it. Thought I might as well go for it for a change. Also would quite like to go Alton Towers if I'm not too shattered.

My concern with the finale is that I'll have a lecture at 9am the Monday morning so I'll be beyond dead if I do go to it :redface:

Not being able to drink in freshers week is actually worrying me as to what to do, for the past year i have been looking forward to the occasion. however due to illness i am unable to drink and worry that it will be harder to meet people due to not having the additional confidence that alcohol gives, i feel that i dont really want to go to parties if i cannot drink but i feel i have to in order to meet people. what should i do and what is a good way to settle down in uni alcohol free?

I don't drink much either (i'm only 4"10!). I'm in James and doing English Lit - going to buy one for the comedy night but don't think i'll get on for the bar crawl - prefer a night in with films and a good laugh :smile:

I'm exactly the same height as you!! :O ok, thanks :smile: Still wondering about live and loud.

Awww, would have been such a coincidence! Cheers, have a great time too :smile: :biggrin:
Well due to unexpected events, I'm now a non-drinking second year during freshers this year :awesome: :tongue:
Anyone here from Exeter? I don't drink much (ok, pretty much at all...unless its weak), and I'm a bit worried. Just a bit. Not too much...

Wow!! never met anyone as short as me (or compacted awesomeness as I like to think of it as!!) And the comedy night has sold out :frown: I'm wondering about Live and loud as well - it's hard to know because I don't know whether I'll know anyone by then or not.

Haha :smile:. I think I'm just going to buy live and loud when I get there if there are any left and I can see what others are doing :smile:
