Psychology Degree Advice

I feel that university culture varies for many people. Some people love to go out and party and drink, while alot of others (more than you think), enjoy to stay home and focus on their studies or even dive straight into a job whilst at university.
I personally enjoyed all aspects, I went out occasionally, but also got a part time job my first week in university and left plenty of time for studying and doing my own thing. Whilst Liverpool is considered a "party city" not all students here enjoy partying. You may not want to straight away, but there are also societies in all universities where drinking and partying is not a big theme, and some that have a mixtrue of nights out, study nights, movie nights etc.
Feeling that the culture is not right for you is understandable, but it is important to remember that university culture varies from person to person and each person has a completely different experience while at university.
At the end of the day, the choice is only yours to make and whatever choice you make I hope you have the best time!

Thank you so much for this! Social media seems to be dominated with the drinking culture of university and as someone who has lived abroad for so long and hasn’t experience being a teenager in the UK, drinking and clubbing was never something that has interested me.
I do worry that it’ll impact the number of friends I can make, or people will assume I’m immature, but after reading a few replies similar to yours on other threads, I think it would be a shame to not go and at least experience it firsthand.

I personally don't think that it will as there are many ways to make friends that aren't through drinking. As I've mentioned societies sometimes have non drinking socials which you can join if you don't want to drink. You'll meet friend through your course and also if you get a job. Even though you didn't live the drinking culture as a teenager, you could also enjoy the odd night out. But just because you're a student doesn't mean that you HAVE to drink all the time. You do what suits you and what you think is best for you 😊

This is genuinely such helpful advice, you’ve made me feel slightly better! Thank you so much!! ☺️
