49 things you should under no circumstances do at UWE
And the list goes on
What a time to be alive, you haven't fucked up your relationship with your parents and have actually got into uni. A new found hope of endless fun, opportunities and freedom is handed to you in this magical move from your shitty hometown to big bad Bristol.
All of your mates have bigged up Brizzle to you for months and with much research via people's Snapchat story of their banging nights out, you are more than ready to become a fresha. However, we all make mistakes at uni, some which can be forgiven, some of which will never be forgotten.
Therefore approaching the end of this academic year comes a time of reflection, and with this comes a definitive list of all of the things you should never do whilst studying at UWE.
1. Join 'The Gym' at Broadmead
We all know you'll never go hun.

Just please don't do it.

We don't care that you go to a Russel Group uni.
5. In that case, don't argue with UOB students at all, they are not worth our time
