He has hated freshers week.He is quite a homebody really.He went out went out clubbing with his (very nice) flatmates the first night, but hated it so much he left at 12.30.The others have gone out clubbing every night since but he hasn't gone.He can't really join in their conversations because they talk about nothing but drinking and clubbing.He has been out to see a comedian at the union by himself, but got talking to others there and one night had a film and pizza night with the flat downstairs.
But I think it is the long days with nothing to do that are getting him down.We went to visit him this afternoon and he looked very gaunt and says he keeps forgetting to eat also he is paying £150 for his room but the shower doesn't work!! and the maintenance guy doesn't know why!
.
Hopefully it will be better next week when studies start.He has 2 full days til 5 and 3 half days in Uni , plus the clubs he has signed up for start
I feel so sad for him being unhappy.I hope it gets better soon.
