Is university the student version of Big Brother?

Big Brother has graced our screens for nearly 14 years and there is something addictive about watching a bunch of either strangers or celebrities all living together arguing all the time. Whether it's it's the arguments that keep us interested or just the sheer joy of watching a group of people be so socially awkward towards each other that it's just hilarious.
So what is it about Big Brother that I feel is similar to the life of a university student? Well for starters it's the fact that a group of students all of similar age have been dumped into halls and are to be expected to live together for the next three years of there lives. Yes, they may not all live together of the full 3 years but at least for the first year they do have to endure each others company. Which sounds difficult, but there is the one thing students have over those in Big Brother.
First, we all have bedrooms so if worst comes to worst you could always spend your university life sitting in your room watching an absurd amount of Netflix only leaving your room to eat and go to lectures. Believe it or not but the vast majority of students seem to turn to this lifestyle, I'm unsure why as although money may be tight going out of an evening hardly costs much with many clubs doing free entry and 80p drinks.
However, we all have our own feelings of what aspect of university life we all want to experience. For some its all about drinking for others its all about work for some its trying to find a balance between both aspects of university life. Finding balance can be difficult however, when you're trying to manage your work load and your social life with a good group of friends it's easier than you'd think. Especially when your friends are incredibly sympathetic and supportive towards you and are willing to help you in every way they can.
So although Big Brother and student life may have similarities at present there seems to be more getting drunk and having fun in student life compared to Big Brother which is consumed with people arguing.
