Event Tickets
The biggest events usually sell-out before people have even moved into halls. It’s important to get your ticket for the events that you find the best to avoid any disappointment.
But also leave some room for spontaneity! It’s good to secure tickets for the sell-out events, but there’ll be a fun unplanned day trips, pub evenings and last minute club nights to enjoy with your flatmates.

What previous students have to say
Amy Hawthorne
“The thought of going to university can be terrifying, especially without someone to talk to who has already experienced it. The Freshers Life social media platforms provided me with insightful information throughout the whole process, from choosing the right course to top tips for freshers’ week.
The online community allows you to meet people going to the same uni as you, who are in exactly the same position, which definitely calmed the nerves. I would absolutely recommend exploring the Freshers Life platforms for student advice on everything involving university!”

“Freshers Life allowed me to connect to so many people that I just wouldn’t have been able to find otherwise.
I was incredibly anxious starting uni but being able to find friends through Freshers Life before I even started helped me so much and I am still so close to the people I met this way!
The freshers week events that they organise gave me solid plans for my first weeks at uni and gave me the opportunity to meet so many people and explore different events as well. Overall they gave me the chance to really connect with people and make friends much easier than I ever imagined! “
