Hello there! I just wanted to see if I could make contact with any fellow commuters? I'm going to be getting the train as it was the best option for me in regards to money, a job and just life in general. It's only 20 minutes away for me so...
Anyway I really wanted to see if anyone else (of course there are lots of commuters, but I mean on this site) doing the same thing?!
I'm a little worried about Freshers week in the DAY! I've made a few friends who have asked me to go out and stay at their halls... etc but in the day it's not so simple as to just get drunk and say hi!
I look forward to hearing from people!

Haha yeah, I got pretty lucky.
How's everyone feeling about the night time events? I really want to go to the bar crawl, the ball if people go and the silent disco maybe? 
unsure whether to get the wristband?
Any of you commuters buying it?
I dont want to get it if i end up not having anyone to go with because i dont know anyone from halls!

Hi all i'm commuting but its only about a 20-30 minute bus ride from me and i will drive it some days so its even quicker.
Just hoping to make friends quickly who will let me crash at theirs especially for freshers because taxis are well expensive and for some reason my legs cease to work when im completely ****ed so not many taxis will take me anyway.
Should be an interesting week all in all!!!

Yeah I'd like to go to at least a few but I don't really know of anyone yet. People have added me on facebook but they're more likely and are talking to people that are living in halls like themselves.
I wish i stayed in halls and didn't commute my foundation and first year!
Hey, not sure if anyone is still following this thread but just wondering what your all doing for freshers week? Went to the ball last night but everyone seemed to know each other and i was just on my own:/ I am meant to be going to the bar crawl but now im dreading it cause i dont know anyone
