Bangor on top, Cardiff can’t keep up

With more universities represented than ever before the ÔÇÿUniversity Sex League 2012ÔÇÖ and the ÔÇÿUniversity Drinking League 2012ÔÇÖ are showing some interesting results.

It seems Wales is still the place to be regarding bedroom action as this year Bangor University topped the list with an average of 8.31 sexual partners per student and Aberystwyth University find themselves in the top five for the second consecutive year.

Former winners, University of Glamorgan, have slipped down the table to 15th with an average of 4.67 partners and Cardiff University sit in 41st position with the average student admitting to 3.63 partners since they began university. This is a dramatic drop since last year for Cardiff University which was then in 13th position with 7.3 partners per student.

It seems that Cardiff sheets are a little cleaner than last year, but not as fresh as University of Essex which came in at position 101, with an average of 1.15 sexual partners. Another university finding themselves at the other end of the spectrum is Roehampton, less surprising given that nearly eight out of ten of their students are girls; they sit at position 99 with an average of 1.83 sexual partners.

Another topic in which students seemed willing to tell all was their average alcohol consumption per week. Queens University Belfast sit at the top of the ÔÇÿUniversity Drinking League 2012ÔÇÖ with a headache-inducing average of 27.3 units per week. That is the equivalent of one large 70cl bottle of vodka every week. Considering the NHS suggest men should not exceed 21 units per week and women 14 units, it does not sound particularly healthy.

In second place came Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, who were also second on the ÔÇÿUniversity Sex League 2012ÔÇÖ with 26.3 units per week, suggesting these students have found more than one way to keep warm during the nippy Scottish weather.

Cardiff University placed 40th in the league with an average of 18.5 units per week, the equivalent of two large bottles of wine. University of Wolverhampton, University of Glasgow and Robert Gordon University are all at the bottom of the table with the latter consuming a very modest 11 units per week.
