Freshers week overall was quite an enjoyable one. Moving in day at my University was so easy and simple. There were many current students offering to help Freshers move in and collect key documents and everyone was incredibly friendly in Constantine. The events themselves at the uni of York depend on what College you're in. So at Constantine, we had things like 50 shades night whilst other colleges like Derwent had a zoo night. There was events for both drinkers and non drinkers so everyone had something to do which was good. In terms of meeting new people, I found everyone to be willing to speak to others and introducing yourself to your flatmates, no matter how intimidating it might seem, will do wonders. It does seem weird at first going out with people you don't really know but by the end of the week you've gone through so much that it becomes more comfortable. The main thing I didn't like about Freshers week was the STYC system as it felt like I was being babysat but apart from that it was decent. P.s. your college chant will be stuck in your head all week and you become annoyingly involved in college politics/stereotypes

The moving in was well organised and went smoothly. Freshers events weren’t great. There was a choice of only two things per night, usually a club night and another activity.

Having designated people from the uni to take everyone out and to stay in contact with all week was helpful but there wasn’t much info on other events other than the big club nights so u could miss out on some nice chill events due to them not telling you about them/not taking people there however they did seem to encourage people to mingle so all was swell

Freshers week was great. There is loads to do both for those who drink and those who don't. You will love it.

Met new people, went out every night, got drunk and lost on many occasions. University of York student nights were an integral part of our fresher's week, alongside activities and nights out organised by respective colleges at the university.
