I've had a pack from my subject about what they are doing for freshers/first couple weeks, but nothing about the official freshers!

Oh, what are you studying? My college hasn't sent any welcome information yet... :redface:

I bought the Freshers' Fest Plus package because it included more events. :smile:

My flatmates went for the same tickets, so hopefully I will go to some of the events with them. Try talking with your flatmates to see what ticket they've got.

I don't especially enjoy the clubbing scene, nor drink at all, but I thought I could attend a few night events, and meet new people. I really do want to make the most of freshers' week and have a good time!

I think most people went for the freshers' fest plus ticket because they either didn't exactly know which events they were going to attend or wanted to try everything. :smile:

I reckon some only bought the freshers' ball ticket too (I heard some big names were going to perfom!) You can sell your tickets later on if you can't make it to all the events.

It depends on what kind of experience you want to have, really...
Go with an open mind!

Guys, i have filled in everything in order to register as a student but i cant seem to find the final button to submit everything off!!
All the sections have 'ticks' on each section.

If you've filled everything in and signed the University Charter bit then it automatically submits it for you, you should have got an e-mail confirming that you've registered. :smile:

Are you going to be there during the NatSci social thing in welcome week? I'm more worried about the Chemistry than the Maths! Haven't even got there and I already feel like I'm going to be struggling haha!

Being a rep I should really make the effort haha. Well I'm Alex remind me when you see me :smile:

Chemistry starts off like wtaf but it does get better once you start actually understanding mechanisms haha. Maths is the bad one but not if you're a whizz!

I'm Lizzie but you can probably tell that from my username!
Okay... chemistry does not sound fun! Don't know whether to be looking forward to it or dreading it :wink:

I'm not too worried about the maths, I've always found it easier than chem :smile:

Is anyone under the freshers guarantee still waiting to hear what accommodation they have ?
Has anyone had a welcome pack from either the uni or Maths department ?

Nor have I, I finished registering earlier this week. I'm pretty sure they said the ID card will be delivered after a few weeks with the welcome pack I'm sure.
