Tips for a Durham Fresher?

If you want my advice, stay off the booze, and don't get involved in drinking games or toga parties, and don't go to bars and clubs. Those sorts of things attract all the wrong types of people. And if you see or hear of anything bad during uni amongst fellow students, make a note of it and report it to the university.
If you are worried that by not getting drunk you won't get involved, remember that you almost certainly won't meet your true friends in week one, and that all the good people tend to behave themselves rather better than the fools who get drunk nearly every day of the first two weeks.

Thank you!
I’m not really a party person and I don’t drink, so I’ll be following that advice anyway! I have a few likeminded friends going anyway. 🙂
Thank you, because I didn’t even know toga parties were a thing until my last Google search. That sounds crazy and terrifying omg 😭
