Why do we start sooooooo late

Hmmmm, I'm debating whether to do the whole freshers' thing or not as it's not my first time round. It might make me feel old and disillusioned, hehe. Hopefully there will be some postgrad things going on

I think we'd all love it if you came and would try not to make you feel old and disillusioned.

Will I be missing out on a lot if I don't go to Freshers Ball? It's kind of expensive and definitely not the music I like

Same. I would prefer to get to know people in a less formal place as well. seems very weird to have a ball when you don't even know anyone.

At the same time, I don't want to be standing around doing nothing while everyone else is at it though...

1,000 people attend the ball, and the uni's population is 8,000 -- that's at least 2,000 people per year group. Go figure.

Happens every year... the uni gets split into two groups "those who went" and "those who didnt"... god forbid if your in the second group

Where do we find our move-in dates? I can't find them anywhere on the web. I guess it depends on which college you get put in? I can imagine it'd be a bit chaotic if a thousand people moved in on the same day.

They're not usually fussed if you come on the wrong day though, obviously not everyone can always make a specific day.

Someone said that about 1000 peope go, right? And there are much more freshers, and those must be doing something else too in any case there will be many who don't go, maybe we should try to organize something?
