Freshers/Induction Week

Is there a freshers/induction week at Keele? I know that term starts on the 24th of September but do first year students need to go earlier? like a week or something? When will we be told?
They have to inform us about these things much earlier. especially non-Uk citizens cos we need to book our tickes quite early to get the dates we want. Ideally I would like to book mine next week.

Yeah I agree with having the date in mind so that you can book your ticket, i'm keeping the date in mind so that I can put in the book at work when my last day is forward planning. Do you have an unconditional? What subjects you hoping to do?

You know how we are doing combined honours degrees? Do we get much free time considering we have to study two subjects and csp modules?

I need BBC so its not too hard to get and i'm kinda capable of getting them so i'm not too nervous about whether I can get the grades. Though I have to say I will be quite far away from home and the first time properly away from my Twin sister so i'm nervous about that and making friends

i honestly dont know about that. my course appears to be demanding. but a friend ofmine who is there is very relaxed about it and tells me that the first year is very relaxed and easy.

my course eng & amer lits requires about 40 hours of work outside the classroom/per week and two read two whole books a week - thats the ideal! but i wont be doing that much because i dont want to miss all the social buzzle plus i am on training course and i dont want to start putting on the pounds ive shed so i ll have to go the gym!
