And! Beer is an essential part of your calorie intake :p

I have no beer money :(
Though I do have 80 pints of beer brewing in my cupboard.
I'm a clever student me!
 
I'm searching facebook for pictures of my mate's room last year but can't find any (been untagged funnily enough) but hopefully something will come up. Absolutely disgraceful but brilliant.

Well, that comment pretty much sums up why you're an idiot.

As a more detailed response - No. I went to uni when I was 21 and lived in halls, currently finishing up my 2nd year. Granted, if I'd gone as an 18 year old I would have been yet another moron like yourself. Turns out though, I got that out of my system before going and just found 99% of the people in halls laughable. Sure, I got on with them, had some vaguely enjoyable times with them, but I just find it ridiculous how people like yourself go to university and try and act up to some twisted Hollyoaks stereotype when really you should be making the most of it. Obviously I had the advantage of living on my own for 5+ years with friends, doing my own thing etc., before hand, but it pretty much summarises whats wrong with our higher education system to me. That, and people like you annoy me - Those whos lives began at university. Every single photo you posted contains more cringe than you can obviously begin to realise. In time you will.

Chill dude... ;)

However I know exactly what you mean and it does get better, promise! You can always tell the 18 year olds that have come straight from 6th form and those that are a little more experienced, however in the second year it gets a lot better and in the third most people will be too busy working and would rather a quiet BBQ than a 4 night binge...

(Not related to you Thorpy, just a general observation from my uni experience:)).
 
I am in second year, and i much prefer a house party/bbq/chill with close mates than a club tbh. Does that give any indication to my age, MotherMayI? lol.

But you seemed to have me down to a pin via a thread on the internets :D

Sat in this library doing this damn Water quality essay is so boring, where are you MotherMayI?

Jesus H Christ. I don't think I've read a more dour post on these here forums. So you're saying you got it out of your system, but you just weren't at Uni? How is that any better? Because you weren't trying to gain a higher education degree?

I'm in my second year now, manage to enjoy myself through a variety of ways, as well as actually taking pride in my work. I'd agree that there are some real characters you won't like or get on with at University, but surely that's because you just meet a lot of people there. Statistically, you're bound to - we're all different. Get out more.

I know the feeling. Couple of my mates are 'broke' now and took out 1k loans to go abroad this Summer. I know for a fact they blew 1-1.5k on alcohol in the first three months of this year (our rag week fell in Febuary).

Obviously I drink relatively heavily myself, it's just that I do it smart. I managed to pay for the trip abroad myself without having to go down the loan route even though I would've had far less money than them knocking around at January.

Gets up my nose a bit though when people b**** about how bad they it financially only to have their folks bail them out at the last second... :(

I think our RAG week feel in Feb (one of them), Herts Uni by any chance? (long shot)
 
Not quite as sour as mother may but 1 or 2 of his points are fair. We've all had:
Rodent problems, untidyness, beer/spirit etc walls, poor state of toilet, lack of decent food etc etc :) I'll take more the "enjoy it while you can" route than "omg you guy don't realise how stupid you look". **** around all you can on the first year, scale it back a bit on the 2nd year and properly get your head down in year 3 and you'll be golden.

I'll bite and show you my cramped room. Been here, or similar style room, for 4 years now and now I can't wait to get a proper flat after summer.

Good ol' unite halls, my room in bournemouth was the same size as that (there was a halls across town which was the same as yours) but mine had a single bed, en suite was sweet though.
 
I think I'd end up stabbing my house mates if they continually left the place in such a pigsty as some of those pictures.

Tidy up you disgusting peasants!
 
I don't understand the whole messy room thing. Up to the age of about 15 I didn't mind if I had dirty clothes all over my floor and mucky plates, from 15 onwards though I actually felt uncomfortable/a bit ashamed to have my room like that.

So I have to say that all through Uni my room was pretty damn clean. Yeah I didn't vaccum up as much as I probably should have done and the skirting boards were a bit minging with dust but it was far from some of the crap in these photos :p

We did have quite an attractive beer fireplace downstairs though...(does that reclaim me any student points?)

What exactly summarises up our education for you? The fact we enjoy ourselves a little more than others?
Click to expand...

No. The fact you think you do. You're the sort of loser that posts up photos of their OMG SO CRAZY flat on to facebook, stacks beer cans in their room etc., as some sort of badge of honour/proof. That is pathetic and laughable in itself, but the fact that I would be willing to bet you spend your nights drinking in your flat then going to some terrible student night just makes it even more so. Trust me, you will look back on this thread and cringe at just how cool you thought you were.

Get over yourself. Plenty people manage to go to Uni, get a very good education, and enjoy themselves at the same time. Just because people enjoy themselves in a different way to you doesn't make them wrong - you make yourself sound just really really boring and right up yourself.

Nah it's not but it'll be exactly the same rooms as in all the Unite places.

Ensuite is brilliant, but probably the only thing I'll miss aside from the location. Only so long you can handle living in this place.

He hated us...

Cracking location that though - though it is quite expensive...
