It might be a really dumb question but what happens at Freshers? Do we go to lectures?
I'm pretty sure that it's the week before proper lectures and the actual course begins: you're invited to big meet-ups, often held by second year students upwards, to make new friends and join societies; you attend introductory lectures/seminars for indicators on how life's gonna be; and you get drunk and party real hard before the hard work begins.
I think so anyway... Anyone care to correct a potentially naive fresher?
