So... how did people's first days go, for those that have left? Mine was pretty joy, went on a pub crawl, I won't bore people with the details, but I got liberally drunk, and I've woken up with a mouth like a camel's arse and seemed to have acquired some girl's umbrella.

I feel like such shit and need to take a shower... but now comes the risky business of using a new shower; burn blisters or frostbite are pretty much guaranteed at this point.

Best of luck Mr Smith. You'll be fine.

I know someone who finished natural sciences at Cambridge this year. It is a pretty intense course, but he enjoyed every minute of it.

Oh yeah, and student life is pretty easy to adjust to once you've learned the ropes. Just remember everyone is in the same boat as you.

That's why you have five years to do it, there's a lot of information to absorb. My girlfriend has a huge bookshelf brimming with books on medicine and anatomy. But it does seem like you have a fair amount of time to process the information, and at any rate you're not expected to know every detail of the books by the time you leave fifth year.

*Phew* I've been at University for much longer than two years now. In fact this year I get to do some lectures, that's how long I've been there.

I finished uni 6 years ago..

Good Luck and enjoy :D

I still have a week left, and my university is in my city ( Cluj-Napoca, not that we will have many more of those here ). Been smoking weed and drinking vodka heavily with a m8 for allmost 2 weeks now... not a bad way to spend the last of ypur free time, especially if you worked for a couple of months during summer

Anyways, I wish you all good luck, especially for the begginers ( tough I still think that in most cases first year can be the best ).

haha I feel old now.

One big tip. Uni will suck at times, but get through it no matter how low you get in your studying. Because the rewards when you done are great. Money $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I started Econometrics on the University of Amsterdam two weeks ago.

i started a month ago, i though it was going to be bad but i actually like it.
