Freshers Ball

Hi :smile: I'm really sorry if this has been asked before, but I was just wondering what type of dress is expected for the Freshers Ball?

Thank you very much x

I've decided I'm going to wear a navy maxi dress :smile: Hope it gives you some idea? I bet you don't!

There's a massive variety in dress. Most people will go in formal or semi-formal wear, but it's not exactly necessary. Two friends of mine met at the Fresher's Ball because they were the only two in full black tie.

NO.

Just kidding, I don't know. Probably. I think you can bring a +1 if you're an Edinburgh student.

What's the freshers ball like? Is it just a massive end-of-freshers party/dance? How significant is it, will it be remembered for the rest of first year or is it boy such a big deal?

Eh, it's not that important. I didn't go to my first one, and I don't feel that I missed too much. It is basically a huge party - a chance to get drunk while dressed up. But it's not the highlight of the year, so do what you want.
