what we did a few years ago when we started, which was made easier as 4 of us shared a house was to have a big ol' shindig at our place on the friday after the first week at college where you could really let your hair down and get to know eachother..... although it did end in a trip to bournemouth A&E for a certain flybhoy after proving he cannot remain on his 2 feet, chase a grapefruit down the corridor prior to consuming a questionable amount of alcohol that evening...... but it was a great team effort in first aid and gave us all something to laugh about the next week at work.... although not for him... stitches and a partially shaved head.

Its all scurrilous rumour I tell you!!! I clearly did all that AFTER consuming a qustionable amount of alcohol!!! And wearing the headset with a bandage on was rather funny!!
As the boy says though, it really does help you settle in if you know at least some people on your course prior to New Place (if they still have it there that is) and living with coursemates does help studying and bouncing ideas (or grapefruits) off each other!!!
