VOTE: Who is UCL’s maddest fresher?
They really are barmy
Kate McMartinOver the last week, we’ve brought you the maddest of the mad. The freshers your Mum is terrified you’ll make friends with. True thorough-breads of classic UNAY students. But only one can be the maddest. Who will you crown your maddest fresher?
Emma
Utter nutter, social fiend and willing to try absolutely anything. Is it any surprise she’s from Manchester?
Vanessa
Her commitment to nights out is 10/10 and she’s never missed a Thursday night at the Nest.
Katherine
She drank more alcohol in her first two days of uni than she had ever drunk in her life and always gets kicked out of Loop.
Bradleigh
He maxed out of his overdraft before the end of Freshers’ Week and he managed 17 nights out in a row.
Joshua
He managed to pass out in Phineas before 11pm and can nail 24 cans of Fosters in one session.
James
He racked up almost £1000s worth of fines since starting uni and is banned from half of London’s clubs.
