In a week I will be starting a BA in Social Work at the university of birmingham. However I’ve looked at my Welcome week timetable and I’m in 17 compulsory lectures each ranging from an hour to three hours long. This will take up all my time in freshers week and I’ll miss out on all the fairs. I’ve talked to some people who I know who are also attending UoB and they have 2-3 compulsory lectures. My lectures start at 9am each day and can end between 3-6pm, is this correct and I simply just have to miss all the welcome events?
