Parents of university-aged DC: if they don't drink, what evening events would they enjoy in Freshers' Week?

[sendhelp]

DS has offered to run some events for Freshers this year in the evenings that don't involve drinking or clubbing. I think he was pretty bored last year as a fresher as everything seemed to involve alcohol or going to clubs, and neither are really his thing. He is very sociable, and does have friends who drink, but he didn't really enjoy endlessly hanging round bars with drunk people.

Do any of you have DC who are a bit like him? What would they appreciate? He's planning a number of low-key evenings where anyone who wants to can just hang out. I've suggested a movie night, with popcorn, but he has rightly pointed out that that is not very sociable. So far, he's thought of a board games café. What else could he organise?

Pizza night.

My dd organised a quiz night this year . It was held in a pub but from 7-9pm only and no pressure to drink . In fact a lot of students took part and didn’t even buy soft drinks . It’s held every year with the same format .

Haha freshers is a lot like what is shown in the media - 99% of evening events at my university revolved entirely around alcohol, the SU bar, and clubs in my city! There was a couple of other activities like pizza and board game nights or outdoor movie screenings and stuff which were great (but mainly full of people too hungover to go out to the other events rather than people who just don't drink!)
