University makes you sleep less.

[Daws]

Anyone else found that they just don't sleep when they come to uni? I mean I slept for 10 hours last night but then I didn't sleep the night before and now I'm not sleeping tonight either... it's really weird I don't feel tired yet either... yet it's nearly 6am

 

[Alithiel]

When I was at university I slept an average of 4-5 hrs a night... now, 5 years after leaving, I can rarely sleep for longer than 5-6 hrs without waking.

Unless I'm pretty damn tired, of course... I slept for 16hrs solid on Sunday after I got back from our little FC get-together in London last weekend!

 

[eggy]

I don't sleep much in general due to various reasons. But I agree, at uni I sleep far less than at home.

 

[Tilda]

I sleep less. Which in a way is good, its better to go to bed imo at 1 than at 11 even when waking up at the same time.

However, this last week things have gone crazy with cousework to hand in before christmas. The earliest i've been to bed has been 3am, the latest 5.
Thankfully its finished now though!

well when i went to uni...i hardly slept at all for the 1st year to busy in the student uni, drinking and chatting up women. It was only in the 2nd year when i actually bothered to do some work that i slept at night.

nowadays i sleep at 1am and get woken up by baby at 6am ish.

How are you finding Southampton?

Went down there to visit Mike (Jilson) the other week, we got trashed at the Academy. He lives right near it.

 

[NumLock]

Its wierd, Uni has completely screwed up my body clock also. Some nights I won't sleep, other nights I'll crash at 6pm or like last night I'll be out 'til 3 and up at 9 not really feeling tired. I'm going to pay for it soon though :|

Won't be sleeping tonight either, programming coursework deadlines

 

[Brynn]

I sleep more at uni - because i have 9 am starts every day - i make sure im in bed by 1, because i hate being tired.

 

[oblimov]

when i was at uni i was lucky if i managed 5 hrs sleep, i think it was due to cheap beer and loose women lol

we used to arrive on campus at 9 get breakfast then go classing till lunch then the union then classes till 4 then the union until shutting time rofl, until i got a night job

now im no longer a student i need at least 7 hrs sleep or i end up sleeping for 12+ hrs lol

 

[Adoctor]

i used to pay some one to photocopy all his notes and but it a binder for me, once a month.

then spent my time mainly and :wub:

 

[Chronictank]

i tend to sleep less too, maybe 4 to 5 hrs a night if that, but thats cus i have no regular sleeping pattern i guess

Yeah its good fun, the area halls are in is a bit shitty (Burgess road ish) but clups, pubs, and even dare I say it, the work side of this is all awesome fun
Academy is nice, have you been to Jesters?

[Lumikki]

Yer been to all the main clubs n pubs there, I visit quite a lot.

Mike's halls were pretty damn good in the first year, some new tower block things, couldn't tell you the name of the road.

lol Jesters, that brings back memories. Tell me is the floor in clowns still made of half an inch of sticky old beer? Oh the joyus memories of drinking too much and singing vic reeves 'Dizzy' at twice shouting volume before throwing up everywhere.... Go Southampton students!, live the dream!

 

[Disorderly And Drunk]

I just had a 13 hour lastnight sleep because i decided that today would be a day off from uni for me

 

[Carrera]

Portsmouth > Southhampton!

 

[swords]

Guildford > Southampton+Portsmouth
UNIS for the win!
and the Jitsu club there rawks!

 

[Chilly]

Clowns+Jesters is a shit hole, but the quad vod deal is too good, no matter where its being sold. Got trashed there ages ago for my birthday my mate mark (of gately hall) spend shalf his time at jesters, the filthy mongface!

Lancaster,
Hull,
Nottingham Trent,
Salford,
Reading,

My only advice is don't go to Hull as its an utter shit hole. (Don't live there btw, just had the mispleasure of visiting it once). Also nottingham is abit of a hole too tbh but has some pretty good clubs. Can't comment on the rest, but good luck!

 

[Ekydus]

Hey,

I've been to Southampton and Guildford universities as of recent. (Guildford last week - was playing Surrey Stingers at American football)

Didn't do much in Surrey, just stayed at the playing grounds next to the hospital and went into the pub above the changing rooms there.

Southampton looked quite nice, didn't get too close to the university though, we went into a pub called "The Square" or something (near KFC if it helps), that place was pretty nice... makes a change from the Canterbury scenery.

 

[eggy]

Guildford uni is socially SHITE.

UTTER...UTTER...TWAT.

£15 to get into "The Drink" on a Saturday night, chance of getting mugged 10%.

Fucking expensive everywhere. The uni is a brick.

Nottingham I like, good choice of clubs. Southampton also loads of clubs and pubs. Reading not explored much, my gf goes to that uni and I have a great time.

 

[eggy]

makes a change from the Canterbury scenery.

I'm from and in Canterbury right now!

Who are ya - live here?

roxxor avatar!

 

[Tilda]

. Tell me is the floor in clowns still made of half an inch of sticky old beer?

oh yes!
*sticks to floor*

Jesters is something like the worst night club in briton, and it only got to 1 because the previous no. 1 closed

Southampton looked quite nice, didn't get too close to the university though, we went into a pub called "The Square" or something (near KFC if it helps), that place was pretty nice... makes a change from the Canterbury scenery.

Yeah the square is nice, had a Law social there, their cocktails are nice there, although generally more expensive than the rest of the student holes! Having said that, if you think the square isn't pricy, try the orange rooms :X

I dont know if you've tried the Hobbit eggy, its nice, and does some neat LotR cocktails, you can drink a Gandalf!

Anyway, home for chrimbo now!
