Scared i'm not gonna fit in on freshers :(

I'm going to be a graphic design student at sheffield hallam in september but for freshers week I am more into games and music, I don't drink so I am worried I won't make many friends because everyone will be getting drunk.
I don't know what to do??

Just be yourself I'm the same, although I do drink... but not a lot. And even though I do I've never even been clubbing or to a bar :P Only pubs aha. There will be plenty of opportunities to hang out with people that don't necessarily involve drinking

Just say you don't drink and people will understand! I suppose you could go on nights out and just have coke or whatever else

Your not alone, I feel exactly the same. Im more of the type that stays at home on a game or on the Internet listening to Music or just hanging around with friends. From what I seen from the media on University life and freshers week im freaking out.

I don't really drink and even when I do its very little and clubs don't interest me, so im scared ****less.

But hey like xmertic said be yourself, join societies find people who share interests; don't be pressured into what you don't want to do. In a large University like Sheffield Hallam you are bound to find someone with similar interests that don't drink.

Hope this helped as writing this made me feel better.

thank you v much I appreciate it haha I just hope I'll find people I'll be okay with!

Hey any time, I feel the same way and hope I find people to. ^_^

I've always been exactly the same, I'll drink a little - but would never go out and get drunk. But my friend is exactly the same and said it's surprising how many people are in the same situation - so, just be yourself. Everyone will love you! ☺️

You're free to message me anytime if you're feeling alone at university :-) I'm probably going to be spending most of my three years on the internet hahaha

Loads of people i know don't drink at university and they are probably the most fun. Just enjoy yourself and make a few friends and it'll all be good. If you're into music then in flat parties you go and control it and show your music taste, someone will compliment it. I go out many times completely sober because I have something in the morning which means i can't be hungover. Just stick to some energy drink and you'll be having a great time.


good luck!!

Why do you not drink? Is it health or religious reasons? Honestly I can tell you drink itself just facilitates these situations and takes away any awkward atmosphere. You do not necessarily need to be drunk but alcohol can be a great ice breaker.

I'm not sure why I don't drink, it just never attracted me - I've tried this year different alcohols but to me I haven't enjoyed any
