The move-in itself was very friendly and well organised; upon arriving at Halifax College, I was met by a STYC that showed me to my room and helped with luggage. The first day was very exciting and I enjoyed the STYCs organising all of my flatmates just chatting and hanging out in the kitchen. The week itself was awful, though. As someone who had never really had any experience with alcohol, all of the events were alcohol and club related. I felt out of my depth during the evenings and lonely throughout the days. The Freshers band also cost £40- a total rip off for nothing but club nights! I was unable to attend Freshers fair because the line to enter building was waaay too long. I'd recommend going to your course inductions and joining societies- that's how I made pals since clubbing wasn't my thing. However, it's great if you ARE into clubbing! Just would have appreciated more variety.
