And they've blocked all torrent clients...etc too, damn them to hell!

You may be allowed to play games if requested but torrents? No chance at all.
Imagine 2000 students with their laptops running azureus 24/7 on the same network as the main Uni computers (that's how it was at my uni). Would cripple it

Uni halls let us game & torrent when I was there (had no problems with anything being blocked), although I hear they got a lot more restrictive in the following year.
The DC++ network being run over the uni network probably got them a bit angry..

That your-freedom jobbie sounds pretty good, they sound like they know what they're doing from the webpage.

I couldnt play online games at uni. many uni's only allow like 1 or 2 ports just for the internet or something.

looks like you need to invest in some single player games. Affordable through money saved no longer ******* money away to a WoW subscription

There is the option to drink 10 pints of Stella and forget about gaming

Hmm, WoW seems to be working again. Weird.

Anyways about the drinking, I'm trying to keep it down to 2/3 times a week. I've been doing weights...etc for months now and I don't want to lose any progress or severely affect any future progress. Hopefully I'll be ok

Relax and enjoy uni. You've got the rest of your life to do a 9-5 job and go to the gym in evenings.

Pfft, either way I think 3 times a week is just about as much as I can handle. Waking up at 8:30 am, getting in from a night out at 3:00am. I couldn't handle any more, I'd be zombie all day.

WoW tends to get blocked as something in their update method sends the p2p detectors ape...dunno the specifics, i think WoW is the spawn of satan

No, really, the next 3/4 years WILL be the best years of you life so get the most out of it.

Probably will be, but really I don't think 3 x 1 hour work outs a week inbetween getting back from lectures and going out is going to ruin the experience. Quite the opposite infact. Weightlifting and working out...etc is really good for your confidence and self esteem.
