I got my application off round about this time of the year too, do it lol! Some of the international students are alright but a lot of them have spent even more that you and I on their Masters so most wouldn't want to get blitzed every weekend. Do what I did and join one or two sports clubs and societies at uni, they have their own social nights and you meet loads of new people anyway. I definately had lots of fun in the 12 months I was there (actually only 9 months for the 3 terms), and I still keep in contact with a lot of my mates there, going back to play squash with them this week actually! Oh, and I met my girlfriend there too, she was a fresher haha. You won't regret going that's for sure if you do decide to go for it!
