New university students were pictured sprawled on the pavement, requiring medical assistance and being wheeled into ambulances after a booze-fuelled night to kick-off Freshers’ Week.
Teenagers were seen collapsed on the concrete or supporting their unresponsive friends after a drunken night of partying.
For some students it all proved too much, with some freshers pushed into the back of an ambulance while medics also tended to unresponsive teenagers slumped on the ground.
Another fresher was photographed being marched away from a nightclub while others bowed their heads outside late night venues while clutching bottles of waters.
This year freshers are being given brightly coloured wristbands with their address and emergency contact numbers – similar to those worn by Alzheimer’s patients – in case they cannot find their way home after a night out.
Campus Living Villages is giving the safety wristbands to 13,000 first-year students, including undergraduates from the universities of Birmingham, Exeter, Manchester, Leeds, and Liverpool.
