    So when actually is freshers week??
    When is freshers week for Sheffield Hallam uni? I have accepted it as my firm choice with a conditional offer to study Criminology and Sociology, and the course start date is the 24th of September. However i'm confused as to when freshers week actually is because some people have told me its the week before my course starts, which would mean I would move in on the 15th/16th of september, as the move in date is usually on a weekend. But other people whose course starts on the same day as mine(at different unis) say they move in on the 22nd. Does anyone actually have the official dates for freshers week for Sheffield Hallam? I have applied to live at The Forge and The Anvil if that helps xx

    Hi Freshers starts 23rd September with Freshers Fest then has activities through the week. Your course most likely does start either that week or the week after, but the first few sessions in uni are just introductions and explinations about the course and enrolling and getting your student card. Check out the facebook freshers group to keep up to date with activities: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sheff...85096944950997

    I'm a Freshers rep for this year, also a society president so if you have any questions about anything don't hesitate to ask

    My course starts on the 10th of September, so I need to get in touch with the Trigon landlord to arrange an early rent start :/ I might be all alone until the 22nd/23rd! D:

    There will probably be other people starting their courses early, including the other people on your course so dont worry you could try meet up with some new people who might be moving in early from on here?
