So I'm off to uni...

[Gunner26]

Now I'm moving into a student village with about 2000 other freshers and I'm undecided on a few things.

First is that I'm sharing a flat with 6 other people, now my logic is telling me that from the outset I should just be friends with everyone on my floor including the HB's, rather I should go for their new HB friends living elsewhere. But what if it turns out that I get an HB9 or something living with me, should i try it on anyway?

Second, and I think this a bit of a no brainer, but I wanna just check with others who might have done this, is it worth gettting a package deal that gets me into all Uni events for the year?

And last, theres quite a few clubs I've been thinking of joining, but what would you recommend, straight up Boxing or something a little more varied like Karate? I'm going to be taking up football anyway but just wanted something else to do on the side and thought learning something like this might help me with my confidence if I knew I could handle myself in certain situations :trouble:

Cheers for the advice in advance

I'll be going into Second year in a few weeks time, so what you're thinking what I was last year.
Definitely don't try and hit on your flat mates. It ends with gossip and people talking about you when you leave the room.
Definitely do join in with all the Fresher's events, they're good fun and you meet tonnes of people. I met a brilliant group of mates during Fresher's and most of girls I've gotten with have been on nights with them rather than anything society or Uni related.
Perhaps a dance society? They're usually full of girls and you end up having a good time by the end of it! I met my last girlfriend (a 3rd year) at a political societies social, so just join what you like because you never know who else you'll meet

Ok, thats roughly what I thought might happen if I tried anything with flatmates
And yea I plan on joining anything I like the look of, I used to do karate when i was younger and enjoyed it quite a bit thought i might take it or something similar backup.
And as for a dance society any suggestions as to a style, hopefully one thats easy to pickup because im not a great dancer. Thanks

nice username

 

[Gunner26]

well, i was hoping the username wasn't too obvious....

And leper thanks for the advice, it makes perfect sense really, i don't know how I didn't come to that result myself, I guess i'm still learning .
But would you reccomend a martial art society like karate or do you agree with claphamski that i should maybe go for a dance one; and if so which style?

A martial art is 10x better than dancing well. I would have to advise you that judo or kickboxing are the most practical martial arts.

I just took up jiu jitsu today actually. I've been doing kickboxing for a few years, so now I can expand to another martial art.
