It's great. There are loads of other things you can do apart from drinking and clubbing. Sports societies are great- so find something that interests you and join! There are also theatre trips, dinners out and learning new languages. Also, if you join ISOC they usually do a bunch of stuff-so its not all doom and gloom, you still get to socialise!
this really.

anyone tell me what uni life is like for you as a Muslim? Because for everyone else uni life is about clubbing and getting wasted so i was wondering how muslims find uni in terms of fitting in and stuff. Thanks.
Well I don't do anything apart from go to lectures, come home, work and go to bed. Sad times.

No, Muslims are not allowed to go nightclubs... but doesn't mean Muslims don't go. At the end of the day, you are always going to get people who call themselves Muslims but do things the Islam discourages.
Fact of life. Its the same with all religions, its rare to get religious folks

Hang on, since when was there a rule saying muslims can't go to clubs?

A nightclub is just a building that plays music late at night and sells alcohol. I don't see why a muslim is not allowed to walk into a building.

Are Muslims not allowed to go to nightclubs?!
Las time I checked, there are loads of nightclubs in Muslim-majority countries like Egypt and Paqistan.

No they are not. And that is because perhaps they don't practice Islam properly

you could always go to the muslim night club (isha prayer).
hahahaha!

Of course the actions of a country with a lot of Muslims means them actions are automatically 'Islamic' 
OP, there is lots you can do! Clubbing and alcohol seems to be the impression most get of being the main part of uni life and for a lot it is a huge part but even those people who drink and go clubbing do other things too. There are loads of societies to join and also the isoc if you want to - they don't just sit in circles and discuss death or anything, they do have socials (within reason obviously) and outings etc.
My uni has a mountain climbing society
some other universities have some pretty cool ones too.. Just don't go to the drinking socials as that seems to be what you're worried about. You may even meet people on your course with a similar mind-set and often will do things with them. Hope it goes well!

So what "rule" says that muslims can't go to clubs?
Not every single non muslim student drinks alcohol and fornicates. Im sure like anyone youll meet a group of like minded people of all colours and creeds and have the fun you enjoy.

If you're worried about "fitting in" joining the Islamic society probably isn't the best move.
I hear your a BEAST!!! who negged? ksi army? no...? no?

You should have asked what activities people take part in apart from attending parties , i guess you could go on the university websites and see what is available. There are non muslims that don't drink that could have helped you.
If you want to know what islamic related activities you can take part in then maybe you should post on the isoc because people on there are probably members of their uni islamic society and could give you info about it.

According to Islam, Muslim's can't.
OBVIOUSLY, if a Muslim wanted to disregard the Islamic teachings, he/she COULD go to a nightclub in the UK, no-one can stop them..

I'm asking you to tell me which "rule" in islam states that a muslim can't go to a club.
Which rule is it?

I don't think there are any explicit references to clubs in the Qur'an/hadith, although one can argue this is because there weren't any in those days.
However, I do recall hearing that (although it's not forbidden), it isn't encouraged either as there is great exposure to alcohol and other stuff, which can be tempting.

Exactly, so as long as the muslim goes to a club, but doesn't do anything that breaks any actual rules, there's no reason why they shouldn't go.

Muslims are told not to go to places where there is temptation for shirk or didnt you know this?
Read your quran and doctrinal hadeeth.
Just do other drugs...
