An eventful week full of exciting activities to captivate your future endeavours. For first year students it is a great opportunity to see all aspects of student life, visiting freshers fayre; signing up to societies of your interest and meeting new people. For new students I would suggest attending the majority of the social drinking nights as this is an opportunity to socialise with new people and to experience life outside of your comfort zone.

When I first found out I was going to Uni, I decided the first thing to do was to go and buy a classic freshers wristband to go out with free entry and a shot at each place etc. I assumed EVERYONE would be doing it. Boy was I wrong. Soon arrival into halls I found out barely no one had spent the money to get one. Despite this, a lot of us still went out most nights, to quirky events and quizzes that turned out to be a lot more fun than I was ever expecting. I just wish I didn’t fall into the fresher wristband trap. I met loads of people who were friendly and helpful (and drunk 80% of the time) and I ended up meeting my friends for life there too. I am quiet and not very sociable, but fresher week has events for every walk of life. Picnics, drinking, petting zoos, meet ups, walks. It had the lot so no one felt left out. It made me feel right at home in university.

Lots of events going on in freshers week to keep you very. However don't get too exited over the bar crawls you pay for as there is allot of waiting around and the drinks given out are only sours. The day time events especially the food fair is worth going to!!

My advice would be to try and get invovled in as much different societies and opportunities that the university has on offer. If your struggling always remember that quite alot of the students you will meet are probably feeling similar.

So good. The staff were so good and managed everyone really well but also made it fun. My birthday is in freshers week each year and is so good to celebrate. Totally rate it.

Lots of job opportunities, freebies and a great friendly atmosphere to kick start the entry into university. Events are good and a nice way to introduce students to the area and to the university itself on a more social aspect
