Liverpool John Moores University

Freshers week at LJMU was a blast! Meet some amazing people and went out every night lol, however they freshers wristbands which they should for £50! We’re a waste of money as the events were neither full of at good clubs, I was lucky as I had a flat mate from the area so I saved my money and followed her. I also have an issue with how the uni doesn’t put much effort in for students who commute, I lived in halls first year but for finical reasons moved back home, but if your a first year in freshers commuting the uni doesn’t do much for them there isn’t even a society!

Freshers week in Liverpool 2017 was a good experience overall with a variety of music genres. However, there is a lot of pressure put on students to buy the expensive wristbands; when in reality you may not want to go to every event and it’s cheaper to make friends and just go to bars in the city compared to paying entry for student events.

The move-in experience was weird as it was the first time leaving home, but everyone was so friendly and they even had a BBQ for us. The events which were on at freshers were good and there was a wide range of things to do. Meeting new people was a bit scary and weird but as soon as you do it, it was fine, and you make friends for life. My tip would be don’t be scared to go and Knock on someone’s door on the first night and go out.
