Superleague is a Football (as in Soccer) astro-league, it's a great laugh.
If you are not picky, then yes relatively easy
when you say picky , i guess the chicks would be borderline mingers then ? :P
and i heard rugby players are adored by chix lol...being one myself i must ask is it true ? :PMan there are like 15,000 undergrads, 7500 girls, most of which are young, single, sexually active and away from home for the first time. Its pretty simple maths.
That said if you don't want to develop a rep stay away from your own course, and stay away from people involved in college life.
thanks bro

- Wearing wordplay t-shirts will result in a score.
- If you're doing a language as a joint major or single major, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GO ON ERASMUS. My biggest mistake of not going has cost me an extra semester in resits.
- Go on at least two trips with friends a year. Especially after Christmas in 1st year,bonds made can result in relationships and friendships for life or at best, a sex or score buddy.
- Stupid one due to common sense but don't leave assignments on the long finger. It will screw you over on more fronts than you think.
- Do at least one module during your time here than you never expected to do in the first place. e.g. I did Planning and realised I should have done it from the start instead of German. Easiest A I ever got and it was a 3rd year module.
- Become friends with lecturers if you're serious about furthering your studies in something. They'll be less stressful to deal with and might become a drinking buddy or even your peer, God save us.
- By the end of third year, every day will seem like a day you can show up to classes drunk. Not that I have experience in that.0 -

I know its obvious but hand in assignments on time. I know they can be a pain in the arse when you have a good nights drinking ahead of you, but it will save you so much hassle in the long run. Even if you are only interested in passing, the better grade you'll get by handing it in on time will make the exams at the end of the semester much less painful as you should be going in with a decent mark behind you already.
Don't study or party to the extreme. Yes college is about having fun, but its not so fun when you fail 4 modules. Conversely, yes work as hard as is necessary to succeed but don't completely neglect the social side of things. You'll be missing out on a big part of college life if you do.
Ask questions! The amount of people who come on here, or who you hear outside the library in December, freaking out because they aren't sure what topics are meant to be covered, what the essay title is etc. If you're not sure about anything ask your lecturer, tutor, classmates, whoever might know. But do it at the time, not the day before the exam.
Try something new. Be it a new sport, language, activity, you'll put yourself out of your comfort zone and meet some new and different people in the process.
Use your own initiative and take responsibility for your education. College is not like school. You will not be spoon fed, or made get up in the morning, or hand in assignments on time, or have someone there to check you've paid your fees properly, or registered for your modules correctly. You are responsible for your own education, the staff are there to facilitate that learning, not force you to learn. If you care so will they, if you don't neither will they.
Have an awesome time, college is freakin amazing 0 -
