Well this is one my good areas haha. I love uni, currently a second year, and at an English uni, so I reckon I got a good idea what's going on with you.
Personally, I've only made out with 2 girls that I know, one of which was a 'challenge' given to me at the beginning of the night. Are there friends I want to get with, hell yeah, but there's none I would have a relationship, except maybe one.
My best wing and I talk all the time about the waste of time relationships are at uni. Some of the guys we live with got themselves into relationships during first year. What we have found is that most of the people in relationships:
Don't go out clubbing as much
Don't do social events as much
Difficult to get ahold of
Now some of the relationships are still going strong, others not so much. My flatmate from last year went out with a guy, they broke up over summer, now whenever they see eachother out it's really akward, especially as they are part of the same social circle.
I'd go with what everybody else on here is saying, the single life is the best way to go at uni. You've got 3 years of doing whatever you want, away from parents and pretty much completely independant. Having a relationship with a girl is a great way of loosing out. One of my friends missed one of the best nights out so far this year because of his 'Anniversary Dinner', it was pathetic and he said it himself.
So yeah, single is the way forward. I've found us single people have the best experiences anyway, because we aren't spending a lot of our time with the same one person.
Oh, one advantage of the relationship I forgot to mention, pretty much guaranteed sex, any time of the day, anywhere. Last year I heard flatmates having sex at all hours, as well as being told they have had sex in the living room, in the clubs, and in the shower.
Hope this helps.
