Freshers' week. It's like something out of the Wolf of Wall Street. You get a grand plonked into your bank account and two weeks where you're expected to drink, party and binge on dirty food like there's no tomorrow.
It can be a cruel mistress, so it's best to be prepared. Here's pretty much everything you can expect from a fortnight of hedonism and chaos.
