Living Away From Home

Well seeing as you're going to be going to a UK Uni, it's more than likely you will not be sharing a room. I don't know any uni's in UK that do that =\.

But yeh, another thing to remember, the first 2 - 4 weeks are what may be considered as the honey moon period, everyone is friendly as everyone wants to make new friends After that people tend to become a bit more closed off

Another tip, I recomend you get to your halls on the day that most of the moving is done, so that way you and your flatmates can all go out and have a nice drink. I think that helped in our flat, as when the last person arived a day late, she was practically left out and we just called her "C" (her room letter ) amongst ourselves. Mind you she didn't help things by not socialising much with us either ¬_¬

But yeh, all of you try to go out on the first night and go to a decent place to have a drink get to know each other better. Then go out the night after that, again as a whole group, and get wasted and all try to come back home together. Might have an ammusing night ^^ and chances are, meet loads of new people

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't think many people would mind if you don't actually drink alcohol, especially if your religious beliefs tell you not to. However when a non religious person say that they don't drink...well... they do get a few weird looks.

I know people up here in uni that practically go out every night get wasted and whatnot. To be honest I couldn't manage that even if I wanted to. I'd say besides your first weeks at uni, drink whatever you usually drink when back at home going out with your mates

No need to get slaughtered every single night of the week

There's nowhere I can't reach.
