Uni Freshers-----BORING ZZZzzzzzzz

I wouldn't have thought that Prince Phillip could do all those things, but good for him. Don't really want to hear about your 'recreational activities', though.

Am i the only one that is finding freshers week/fortnight really boring!
To me the thought of getting drunk being fun is not ''FUN'' oH and not to mention the amount of people that sleep around...seriously have some self respect ...sleep with someone you have at least known a year!
One night of freshers consisted of a marque with a capacity of 2,000 to 3,000, with drink and music...at first it was fine then people started to get ridiculioulsy drunk and it got really busy.Then i left bout half 9!

My idea of fun is 30 mile+ bike ride/Mountain walk then a nice meal and a pint in a nice pub with or without music......Anything like this during freshers big fat NO!

Oh yeah and i am not a boring old fart i do know how to have fun, just not the fun others seem to have!

Nope it's crap, and makes me feel boring even though im not, I just dont like clubbing and coming back at 5am when I have lectures the next day.

Freshers Week only lasts for one week (well, mine lasted for two because the other uni in town started a week later so we got to go to theirs as well); OP will just have to realise that a large amount of 17-18 year olds who have just moved out of mummy and daddy's house and got their own space will want to get trashed every night. Clubbing every night for a week is not my idea of fun either - although I've had plenty of fun at clubs before - and it is a shame many universities don't put anything on for the students who have other interests, but they're faced with large amounts of people in their late teens who have no hobbies or interests other than Facebook and drinking.

If you don't like the idea of clubbing every night then wait until freshers week is finished before you move in.

Socialise but don't drink?
Don't go to the main nightclubs, find somewhere thats not going to be as busy as the main even starring DJ Whoeverhe'scalled that's bound to be busy.



Yeah, don't generalise all us freshers to be like this
We don't all get pished and have sex with random strangers. You can have a good time like everybody else without having to do these things

Note; I will be getting pished

I 'm going to the pub on campus and having house parties.However my housemates seem to get over the top drunk, so then its no fun.

you don't have to drink to go out and have a good time, but going out and bonding with your housemates and other people is fun just remember it is only a week long so after this week everything really starts!
