Had a great time, made loads of new friends and settled in pretty quickly. Wasn't too sure about going out and the night life but all my flat mates are really friendly and made the whole experience barable. Also the friends I made on Facebook before uni really helped.

Great move in experience with lots of help. Opportunities to meet new people were constant which made it an overall eased situation. Events were very good, well organised and made meeting people easier.

You arrive at campus and the atmosphere is buzzing, you are directed towards your accommodation by a friendly freshers angel who helps you move your mountain of luggage into your room. You are nervous and excited out at the same time, ready to start your new adventure. You are greeted by the first of your flat mates, who turns out to be friendlier than expected and in that moment all your nerves seem to disappear. Time to explore the campus and visit the freshers fair; their are tonnes of stalls which are overcrowded by swarms of students. The energy is amazing, music is blasting out of the speakers, there is a rodeo bull and some small rides. You can't wait to sign up for all the cool societies (of which you will mostly never end up going to) and the crazy nightlife events at the Forum. Let your new chapter begin ! Tips: Be open, be social, explore and most importantly have fun. You are only a fresher once so make the most of it! P.S: Relax and smile, there is nothing to be anxious about. You will see :)

Amazing experience! 7 nights out in total and i went to them all with my house mates, the uni had many guest singers and themes throughout the week! Would definitely reccomend going to freshers (even if you are third year!)

The forum was a great venue, major artists would perform at least once a month, worth the money each time

It was amazing, the wristband for all the freshers events was an amazing idea. A lot of artist were invited.

Day and night events. Drinks. Socialising. Loud music. Drinks. Drinks. What more do you want? It’s the beginning of uni and everyone is really excited/nervous. Best way to move away from those nerves? Hit the clubs with your flat mates and meet more people! Enjoy the loud music, cheap drinks and dressing up! Unless you don’t come out of your room, you can’t avoid Freshers’ Flu. Continuous drinking, lots of late nights, a fast food diet, stress and anxiety, sharing bathrooms and kitchens – a combination of all these things will undoubtedly lead to Freshers’ Flu (don’t worry, it happens to pretty much everyone). But that’s all part of the fresher’s week experience! Drinking and partying is quite a large part of University culture and it can be really fun. But don’t be that person who has to be carried home from nights out before midnight, or who gets into drunken scraps with people.

Freshers was an experience that was unforgettable. The vibe was amazing and everyone was so welcoming. It’s an easy way of making new friends because no one ones eachother and to defenitly get out of your comfort zone. A tip that i’ll Give is, don’t be scared to go up to people to meet them because everyone is alone like you and wanting to make friends. Don’t wear heels! If you are a girl and make sure to let loose. Also try to get to know your flat mates and make sure to make friends within your flat too. Attend parties outside your university club, go to hall parties because you’ll defo meet people in there. And Snapchat is the key! Everyone will be asking for Snapchat’s within the first week so make sure to give it out because that’s another way of making friends.

My move in experience at freshers was quick and simple. I had no problem finding my flat and no problem organising my stuff either. The events at freshers were very fun. Meeting new people was easy too as everyone was very sociable and I still hang around with those same people today. Useful tips for new students are: just be very sociable and you’ll get far.
