The course had a very high pass rate, mainly due to how well we all got on with each other (And to an absolute legendary course rep! You know who you are!
)
I echo the comments reference our course rep!!
I also agree with whats being said about letting your hair down. College can be very hard going at times and its really good to just be able to forget it every now and again and have a good time!
However you choose to that is up to you; as Glamdring said, our course seemed to enjoy a Friday night session. Worked well for us, we had a great team spirit on our course and became really good friends. Personally I think that contributed a great deal to my life down in Bournemoth, and indeed our course's success rate.
Would advise socialising and getting to know your course early on
(As well as the obvious putting the work in when required etc etc...)
