University of Exeter

Super fun but also one of the strangest experiences of your life. Meeting people that day then getting black out drunk, sleeping till Midday then Recovering before going and doing it again. You go to places you’ll never go again and talk to people you’ll never see again but gives you a bunch of memories

It was good. I really enjoyed all the societies on campus. They have our free stash which was nice and I got to know loads of people

Fresher week was a very important part of moving to university, especially from a different country. I got to get close to people and meet my course mates in the induction day. The tickets events were very har to truste as they could be not official which made it expensive to go to all the events. Some events were completely dead while others were too packed.

There is a wide variety of events during freshers week at Exeter, however some are on the expensive side. A wristband is sold including all events however I would wait and speak to your new housemates to find out which ones they are going to as it could be a waste of money! Meeting your new flat is great and not to be worried about. Pack everything you think you could possible need as I always realised I had forgotten things as the weeks went on. Relax and enjoy!

The Welcome Team students do a really great job of helping the move in process and answering any questions at first. They’re really friendly and can help make sure you get your bearings and have met your flat mates. After that I found there were loads of events running throughout the week, you just have to really make the effort to go to them and talk to people. The nights out were great fun and I had a really good week.

Well Exeter is not the most well known for its night life, however there are a few good clubs for each night of the week and you change the full flavour of what nights to attend during freshers! Monday night DSP is always a great way to kick of the week and Tuesday salsa night at tp is also pretty good. Freshers week also has many day time activities to be a part of, freshers fair will have you signing up for all the sports you won’t attend during the year but still have a membership too and all the trail sessions of the sports will help you meet new friends! My favourite freshers night out was Friday night of course, TP top top is where I ended up and it did not disappoint

Freshers week was amazing although tickets for everything were overpriced. a great place to meet loads of new people and get you used to the uni lifestyle!

I met so many new friends and had a great time with the sheer amount of things on offer. The events were really varied and I didn't have any trouble finding things to do.

Move in was great, very friendly students welcoming she a good information pack. The events were not as good however, extremely busy everywhere and wristbands were poorly advertised before arrival. I would say to make sure you meet as many people from different groups and societies soon.
