Don't really have any tips. My "university" was in central London and halls were a 40min tube journey away. It really wasn't safe to try and navigate around London drunk, - there's a tip, - DON'T DO IT! - your diabetic, don't do it anyway!!
Every year, I find myself working at a theatre on my local Uni campus during Freshers week. Driving out at the end of the evening, I find it really depressing to see all the bright young things. Lying in their own vomit or reeling down the middle of the road. Again, it's not big or clever, don't do it! - Be the one who remembers EVERYTHING and tells everyone else why they now only have one eyebrow, or where they got the lovely tattoo.
Any lastly, with my little ray of sunshine response. As the owner of a number of student houses, can I just say to all the parents out there, you're welcome to go over the properties with a fine tooth comb and we will bend over backwards to accommodate your requests, however strange. BUT. Also please bear in mind that if we have to rip out the bathrooms and replace the entire kitchen at the end of the year because your little darlings don't know where to buy bleach, we will not be impressed and you may well lose your bond!
- a bit tongue in cheek, a bit not!

- sorry Giverny, not really directed at diabetic students, just general. My advice to diabetic students would be to make sure your closest friends know how to deal with a hypo, but to also bear in mind that the people you meet in Freshers week may not end up being your closest friends!
Have fun but STAY SAFE!!!
