With regard to the rest of my comment, I was referring to some of the all night partying that some of them are doing that is causing a problem on Greenstead. We have enough anti-social behaviour people on the estate (a small but significant minority) that make life for other people with out the students adding to the situation.
i hope that clears that point up.
Once again I hope that the person who was attacked makes a speedy recovery.

GR, hgow fo you know it was a fellow-student who attacked her? And how many cases have there been of students attacking people with broken glass or knives etc?

That said the anti-social behavior from some (note the word 'some') of the university students is giving the university and their fellow students a bad name.
It's time that someone had a word with the people running the university about it.
