drinking at newcastle

hi im about to start maths at newcastle university in september 2024, im really excited but i'm kinda scared for freshers week/socialising in general as someone who doesn't drink. i'm worried that i'll struggle to make friends, i don't even really want to go clubbing lol. is this normal or will i likely struggle? any help would be appreciated as i'm stressingggg thank you

I'm in a similar situation as well. About to start mech eng in september. I rarely drink and not bothered about clubbing but I'm sure there's plenty of people who are the same. Newcastles put up some Freshers event things on their website I think I saw that aren't revolved around drinking and I imagine some won't be bad 🤞🏻. If you're moving into student accom I'm sure you'll find some nice flatmates. I'm hoping 🤞🏻

Hi Im doing maths and econ at Newcastle in september too and I'm in a similar situation to yourself - I'm sure there'll be many people who don't drink and I'm very sure you'll still have a good time. Whilst I do drink I don't do it as excessively as some people were on partners lol.
