It's best to concentrate on the study aspect and not too much on the social side -
tales of debauched evenings in the bar or boasting about how many pints you can
sink is probably not what the interviewer is after!
Concentrate on what subjects you studied and any sports or social clubs you may have been a member of.

Don't worry - everyone has faults!
Be honest, and stress that you are striving to improve yourself.
Mention a weakness and turn it into a strength - for example,
'I am very methodical, which can occasionally make the task slightly longer;
but it means mistakes are avoided, which saves time in the long run.'
