Boswell Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Moving into halls on sun and slightly shitting it! I'm moving like 400 miles and I don't know a soul! Please tell me about your freshers time spent at uni to get me excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Welcome party = couldn't find anyone it was so busy Main club night = kicked out before anyone started playing Overall = awesome week. Just be talkative and you'll have a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Quinn Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) You'll love it mate just chill and be yourself (well, if yourself is really shy then maybe throw yourself out there a bit more). I went into a house first year with 4 others I didn't know but i just turned up with a few draws and a create and we were best mates by that evening. If you're in halls I'd say just don't be afraid to knock on doors and introduce yourself to people, everyone's in the same boat and will be grateful that someone else did the door knocking for them, especially if you come armed with gifts of beer. As for actual freshers week though, I'd say don't hype it up too much. It's amazing and you'll get to know everyone, but the ammount of drinking/clubbing etc is like that all year at uni anyways, only later in the year you're much more comfortable around all your mates and know a lot more people.

shamus Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Make sure you are yourself around potential course mates and flat mates. Try to get into every other girls pants. In all seriousness, every single person at freshers will be in the exact same boat! Just mingle and enjoy it! It's one of the best things you'll ever do!! Although whilst doing this, try and stay within your limits. Don't be the first one home being sick/ become a liability with your new family, It'll all be forgotten eventually but when you haven't got muych to talk about at first it will become the conversation starter, My housemate managed it and loved it being brought up, although he's a mess anyway!

Simpson Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Try a freshers 7 day prep, on the 1st day have one pint, 2nd day a 2nd, 3rd day etc. till on the 7th day you have 7. Means your less likley to be a drunken mess 1st night out like I was! Got people telling me months later that they thought I was a massive bell in the 1st few night out! Hahaha ask Rossy G! Oh and don't be an Essex boy, I was used to Last post pre lash, club, fight, kicked out, kebab, taxis home. In the rest of the UK that just isn't how people do it. There a lot more chilled and relaxed about things, ie. haven't seen a fight in a club in the whole time of being down in Portsmouth (considering its "supposed" to be rough down there thats saying a lot) considering when I was younger a fight in Essex was more than standard, so relax and enjoy it.

N.Wood Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 See what happens really, just go with it. Try and say yes to as much as you can, speak to anyone and everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrials Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 People I know who have been to uni said they end up out with their new flatmates because they're all in the same boat, so everyone in the flat wants to get to know eachother. So you'll all go out. Yes, one might be gay, the other might be into Jazz, and someone will probably be a violent drunk, but you'll probably meet new people to go out with and you can leave your flat mates to it. If not, just grab a 3L bottle of cider, drink that on your own and go to the union and see what happens.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hill Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Im in a similar situation myself, moving in to halls on Wednesday, although im not really massively shitting myself about it. I am still a little nervous though but generally more excited about the fact im actually going to be there i think! What uni you off to?

N.Wood Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Always leave your door open if you're just kicking about in your room/cruising the tinterwebs. No one likes a loser. First day in halls me and this other matey went round everyones rooms and told them we were going out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 First night our entire block (8 flats of 4) all went to the student union together and just got chatting. Just don't worry about it. Even if you are shy you'll soon loose that after a couple of beers or instinct will take over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
