Literally the vilest people I've met in my life, they kept spitting at us and making all these sexist/racist comments. Then to put the icing on the cake they decided to deck Jonny for no reason whatsoever - people like that don't deserve to live on this planet.

And the worse thing is we probably won't catch them cos they fricking flagged a cab down and drove off asap :frown:

It's official - I am NEVER going out to Southampton on a Saturday night ever again, because that's when the scumbags decide to go out and look for fights and all the innocent people end up worse off, ****'s sake.
gash! :yep:

Where are you from?
Honestly, crime here is something you really shouldn't worry about. Being a student, you don't even see it. It happens elsewhere away from the main populated areas. Its not as bad as it has been written in the media or whatever. I have not seen one mugging, one shop being robbed, no violence, no car thefts and no murders.


I'm a Chinese and found terrible BBC articles about yob problems. Southampton is an example. I hope to avoid yob problem when I study here, is it possible? What are the situations of triad activities, robbery on students etc of the main places for us, such as the main campus, the road between the main campus and the main halls, city centre like the 2 shopping malls and other places you can think of? Thank you!

Lol... Sorry, I don't know the stats of how many people have been robbed in the campus, the roads between, the halls of residence, the city centre AND the shopping mall! Please, stop worrying. There is no need!
Omg Jonny that's terrible... I hope you are ok. Police men are fun, they are very friendly and try to be funny. I hope you're ok also Lozz.... stupid locals!! Big hugggs!!!!!

I passed my lifeguarding course guys :biggrin:

I have an exam in two days I haven't revised for and I went out last night.... in my whole week and a half sober I forgot how horrible hangovers were............ moral of the story, don't spend a week and a half sober.

Seriously, please stop worrying about crime here. As a student, we see none of it and are not involved in it. When you get here you'll realise that. As for the triad involvement in Southampton, I don't know. There is a large Chinese population here so there is probably some triad influence but again, us sudents do not see any of it. I think you're reading too many articles written by the media which make crime seem like a bigger issue than it is here. The media obviously are not going to write about the crime that doesn't go on and how Southampton is a lovely place - because it doesn't make them money!

In all my time here, i've heard of one person being mugged. If you're worried about that kind of thing here, You'll never leave your house if you live anywhere else, because other places are much, much worse than here.
Hehe I do find it funny that the discussion is hopping between reassuring a prospective student about crime levels in Southampton and me telling everyone about getting assaulted in Southampton the other night (for the second time this year!) :p:

Considering the Chinese students that study abroad are like the most intelligent 1% of Chinese students, I think he may notice.

I think SUSU would be interested in hearing about our new Langsoc president scaring off possible new students. Jonny you bad bad boy.

James! It's not me scaring them off, it's the roughians that frequent Manzils. And to our Chinese friend, if it's any consolation, it's the first time I went to this establishment in what I was butchered by roughians, thus it is nothing to worry about.

JESTERS.
