Sex is not simple. There aren't always easy answers. Here at your Union we're pulling together the facts and we're more than happy to be blunt and honest about having sexual experiences whilst here at Portsmouth. For most Students' it's their first time away from home, mixed with plenty of the opposite sex (or similar sex depending on your preference) and a good sloshing of alchol can often mean you guys are having plenty of sexual relationships - we're not here to tell you what to do, but more give you some advice if you need it.

There are hundreds of costs which come with being a student. It's important to develop your own method of budgeting and even more important to stick to it! Remember it is important to make your money last especially as the students loan company pays out just three times a year at the start of each term. Why not work out a weekly budget based on your income?

Here’s the straight dope: if you’re going to do drugs, you’re going to do them and there’s probably not much we can do to convince you otherwise. Right? Even if they are dangerous, or if they cause huge health risks, screw up your friendships, working relationships and family life, eat into your savings and put you in debt, cause you to look and feel like a dog’s breakfast, give you the most depressing comedowns, make it difficult to have sex, cause you to babble on like a retarded buffoon, get you into trouble at work or school and POSSIBLY KILL YOU, don’t let that stop you, oh no. And consider this: if you get caught here is a list of the maximum penalties under British law for the possession and supply of drugs.
