How did you find university?

I found that I got on far better with other people from another student society, as those on my course seemed to be constantly switching who/what their alliances were.

  • I went to university 3 times. The 1st was more an exercise in education than social life. I was living about 60 minuets from uni in another city to save on costs. In retrospect probably a mistake. My department (maths) sociaty was rubish. First year they did practicly no events. Second year they ran maybe 1 or 2. 3rd year was really boozy full of pub crawls so I opted out of most of it. 4th year most people I came in with left and it was still mostly boozy stuff.

    The most interesting thing they ever tried to do was a charity slave auction which they canceled ... I think because I was the only one who volenteered to be a slave.

    The christian union I was also involed with but they had been 'possesed' by the local baptist church which seemed to be morally oposed to both fun and interlectual debate. Almost all of their social events were orgonised either in halls of residence or on weekends which was not great for someone comuting into uni.

    For my second course as a post grad I was in a difrent uni in my home town. I went to the odd student club night there but there weren't any social clubs that interested me. Instead I got involved with the anime sociaty at my old university which was frankly great. As a rowdy noisy bunch of nerds in the late 00s / early 10s it was probably the best soccial life I ever had ... which is to say it felt like I had one.

    I got kicked out of anime soc not long after I finished my second course. Which was ironic because my 3rd course was at my old uni. I spent most of the course appealing that ban. An appeal I won about a week before the course ended. So I didn't really have much of a social life at uni for my 3rd course. I couldn't join the sociaty I wanted to. I couldn't join a lot of others because every sociaty adjacent to anime sociaty had banned me too. Most of them were run by the same clique that decided they hated me.
