Just finished my 3rd year at Winchester. My advice is during freshers week just talk to everybody, everyone there wants to make friends so don't be shy and hide away. Also stay in halls for your first year, you'll get to meet lots of different people and it's awesome when you move into your own place together for years 2 and 3.
Students get a bit of a pasting on here in general but it's a great experience both educationally and socially. You'll learn things, do things and meet people you otherwise would never have done.

The former was great fun, although I fell out of love with the subject and have decided on a career change. Tough at the time as I lost much of my hearing before and during the first year, so I ended up teaching myself. No regrets though.
The latter is an unknown territory, but excitedly counting down the days until the course starts in September.

Winchester apparently has a high number of females compared to males I believe?
Sussex Uni, biochem bsc. I lived at home 'cause it was cheaper and regret it. Wished I'd got more involved in the student life, in retrospect. Didn't help that registration was such a mess (first year with fees) that I spent all registration day queuing to register and never got to the fresher fair to check out the clubs and such.

Yup, the most popular courses are teaching and performing arts so it was something like 5 to 1 female to male ratio when I joined.

Uni life can be fun, it can be stressful and it can be absolutely f***ing horrible at times. I still loved it though. My main thing I wish I'd changed is not treating holidays as holidays quite as much as I did, I would have been much less stressed.

I'd currently near the second year at NTU. Studying Accounting an Finance.
Love how cheap stuff is here compared to Hove.
Pint of real ale here is like £2. Went to a pub at home and its more like £3.50
So glad I didn't stay at home, would of missed out on so much.

John Moores, only it was Liverpool Poly in my day (it changed the year after I left).
The course was basically a grounding in managing a nature reserve, or working in environmental impact assesment, that kind of thing. Very interesting course, with a fantastically low number of weekly lectures. Not used any of it since the day I left, mind.

My friend has just finished his first year at Manchester MET. He's done Ok, maybe failed a few exams but then most students do the first year. He said even though its putting him in a lot of debt, and even if he came out with nothing at the end of it, he wouldn't change it for the world. So far, it's been the best year of his life. And i've been up quite a few times, had some really messy, but quality nights and if I could go back in time I would have gone.
From having friends at a lot of Uni's, and from visiting a lot, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Bristol and London seem to be the best. Quality night life and quality cities.

We must have crossed streams as it were. I was there 1991-94. History/Politics. Was indeed good times. Great city and an interesting time post Hillsbrough. The nightlife seemed to really take off towards the end of my time with Cream mutating from the annex of the academy/Nation into a full-blown club night. Great city and a memorable night watching Liverpool overturn a 2-0 defeat to Auxerre with a 3-0 win at Anfield. The people there are some of the best I've ever met.

Wouldn't take the attitude that if you come out of it with nothing its okay. And failing first year isn't a good sign. You only need 40 percent.
But it is a good laugh.

much the same as my ordinary life really.
Open University Classics course. Pass this one A219 and I am up to 240 points. September doing level 3 course Empire A330 and that gives me a degree( 300 points) Year after A300 Greek and Roman Myth gives me another 60 points taking me to 360 and a BA(open) Hons.
Been a bloody long slog, 1 tutorial a month and a day school but well worth it...now revising hard for exam on 12th June..Odyssey, Iliad, Parthenon, Lysistrata, Persians, aristophanes, Aeschylus, Cicero, Pliny Slavery, Funery monuments etc etc.....my head really hurts

booooooooooo!
Did you go to Lancaster then?!
Cream was still the '051' club when I started. The most memorable match at Anfield was the Albion's 2-2 draw in the FA cup! Used to go and watch Everton a bit.
The people are great. My advice to anybody who starts out as a student in a new town, is to try to broaden your circle of freinds outside of just other students. One of the first things I did when I started at Liverpool, was to go and join the cricket club round the corner. My team-mates there were brilliant, and within a couple of weeks of arriving I had three circles of friends (course / halls / local cricket mates). I'd recommend that to anyone - go and join a local Sunday football team or something.
