What’s the biggest lie you have told during freshers?

University is a prime opportunity to reinvent yourself around an entirely new group of people. Your new flatmates know nothing about you, other than through profuse Facebook stalking, so why not seize the opportunity to tell a couple of porkies? Maybe it’s a little white lie about stealing milk, or maybe it’s a whopper like claiming you had a threesome during ring of fire.

We asked students on the concourse to reveal what the biggest lie they told is, the results were as interesting as expected.
