The University of Manchester

While Manchester nightlife is great, there needed to be more events during the day to get involved it. During Freshers' I often found myself at a loss of things to do that were more organised. No one can deny it's tough being chucked into a new city knowing no one and all of a sudden needing to find friends with which to experience this new place. Maybe friendly sport matched or classes in which you are put into smaller groups so it's easier to get to know new people. It's all so overwhelming and everyone experiences Freshers' differently.

It was a bit duller than I expected, I think freshers' week gets so hyped up and it struggles to live up to that. It was easy to meet new people, don't be afraid to sit at a random person's table or go to the local pub and meet others like you.

Freshers events weren’t great, weistband events were rubbish and pangea was awful. Move in eperience was good and the freshers fair was decent. Nightlife deff better as the year went on.

Freshers week was fun if you had good people in your halls. When I first moved it was quite isolating. moving in tips would be to get chatting to as many people as possible even if they aren't in your flat.
