Hey everyone, I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm pretty local (Shoreham-by-Sea), so I'll be living at home, I've done clubbing in Brighton to death so I'm a bit tired of it personally. Living at home will make it harder for me to meet people, so these other events sound ideal! Studying Automotive engineering at Moulsecoomb :smile:

Im not a fan of clubbing and drinking id prefer spending my time in the gym for example or casual go outs, restuarants , cinema ,etc. This is mostly based on me being a religious muslim but im no deadbeat so dont get the wrong idea haha :wink:

Does anyone else think the same?


The majority of time, people will be sat in their hall bar or uni bar having a few drinks and a game of pool or whatever. There is no reason why these have to be alcoholic drinks, plenty of people will be drinking coke or NA beers.
So glad I'm not the only one, bit bored of clubbing in Brighton so was really hoping there would different events. Live pretty local as well and staying at home, so will be more difficult to meet people, but this sounds great :smile:

Not at Brighton, but I was in the same position when I was in freshers. Thankfully I met afew others (English ) and fellow muslims who I could count on chilling with on a Friday or Saturday night. It did get abit lonely when the rest went out, but I strongly advise you get involved in some societies...I did rounders, hiking and used to dedicate Friday evenings to goingout i.e. meal, cinema and weekends to visiting other cities, seeing friends at other Unis or catching up on work and baking :biggrin:

No problem :smile: Just try your best not to get tempted at Uni into anything you wouldn't normally do. I became closer to religion at Uni tbh because I saw so much haram and it scared me so much. Its sad because afew people I know regret some of the stuff they did because they were just on the first year bandwagon.

As for following religion i am 100% committed and im not worried about Uni, peer pressure may be abit of an issue but i aint giving in anytime soon haha. Hopefully i can grow closer to the religion too during this time period. First year will be the hardest part i guess, does it get alot better in year 2/3?

That's good :smile: inshaAllah youll be alright then. Hmm personally I don't get affected by peer pressure so it was okay for me and met my best friend who thinks exactly like me so if everyone else wanted to go to shisha lounge or go and see what clubbing is like, we would do our own thing. First year was the best year for me tbh. Second year the novelty of living out wore off tbh and it became norm and although we had some good fun outings etc. it hasn't been the same as the first year buzz of doing something every day haha. I think for most people second year is when people start knuckling down too with uni work.
Basically, enjoy your first year as much as poss! :tongue:



From a peer pressure point of view, it does get better. In second year because people are used to living out and the buzz of freshers wears off and they have found their feet/ discovered themselves

yeah, there is a huge list of them on the SU website! It even includes a beard society and that seems pretty exciting... even though I dont have a beard.
Maybe we could all meet up some nights during freshers?
