I was lucky to get a flat that were like family, annoyed the hell out of me but I loved them, most of my good friends came from meeting people through other people during freshers though. One of my biggest regrets is not joining any societies and I'd deffo recommend it to people.

It's nice to hear that not everyone wants to go mental on Fresher's week. Although I love a night out, I don't want to go crazy, especially when you don't know many people and unfortunately I won't have anyone to rely on so early on in the year xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679296415751145570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366490881967438438.post-20677801907191424482014-08-19T00:15:33.525-07:002014-08-19T00:15:33.525-07:00This is a great list!

So there you go, I think it's probably one of those things that varies between unis so it's difficult to really say xxBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273757375451264248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366490881967438438.post-34557089210504713572014-08-18T01:55:59.766-07:002014-08-18T01:55:59.766-07:00Aw good luck, Alex!

Freshers' Week definitely isn't for everyone (which really annoys me!) But there'll be a lot of people there who'll be feeling exactly the same as you. My uni didn't have Freshers' Passes so I'm probably not the best person to ask but from what I know, if you think you're going to end up going to most of the events then I would buy one since entry charges and things like that during Freshers' really start to add up so it may be beneficial to have paid a capped fee like that. Though I think you're going to need to decide whether or not you'll get the full use out of it if you do buy it! xxBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273757375451264248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366490881967438438.post-64213265042729233662014-08-18T01:21:39.019-07:002014-08-18T01:21:39.019-07:00Me too!

Even though we've now been out of university for almost as long as we were there, we're all still really good friends. So my bit of advice is NOT TO WORRY if you don't make friends straight away or if you don't enjoy anything that happens at the beginning of your first term of university. I am 99.9999999999999999% sure that most people who say they loved it are lying at least just a little bit.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.owl-girl.com" title="food, fashion and travel" rel="nofollow">Owl Girl | A London lifestyle blog</a>Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11323177021935377922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366490881967438438.post-58106713101294729072014-08-16T13:56:30.106-07:002014-08-16T13:56:30.106-07:00This was a great read :).

Can't believe it will be 6 years ago for me. These tips are all spot on, although my one tip I would add is don't get overwhelmed by the fear of missing out. I went out every night bar one for my Freshers' fortnight and made myself pretty poorly! It's not worth it! I don't half miss University though, trying to be a responsible adult is so much scarier ;)<br /><br />www.thepeppermintpencil.comAnyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02334292196276822980noreply@blogger.com
