What was your biggest regret during Freshers’ week?

‘Having really shit sex’


From drinking to dodgy kebabs, Freshers’ week is undoubtedly one of the best experiences of our lives. Filled with hazy memories of new friends, cringey club nights and serious alcohol consumption.

Intoxicated decisions often come with sober regret.

We headed up to Talybont to find out what this year’s intake of freshers regretted most about their first ‘diff experience.

He had a sore head in the morning

“I walked into a lamp post, it was really bad. I had to get three boys to carry me home”

Tom, 19, Economics

Understandably a little reluctant to be photographed

“I slept with someone who was really shit.”

Amy, 19, Business Information Systems 

Amy won’t be showing her face in Glam again

“I drank a bottle of vodka on my second night and passed out in Glam toilets”
