I don't know anything about it at all! I phoned Glasgow the other week to ask when Freshers week actually is (because i have to fly to Glasgow, the sooner i book flights the cheaper they will be) and the woman didn't know exactly when it was. All she could tell me was lectures started on the 27th and that we will find more out mid July - August.

Has anyone heard anything/ got any info about it?-the glasgow site aint too good for anything other than course info.

btw is there a freshers ball or anything along such lines?

and what is the point in having a freshers week and an orientation week?


As far as a freshers ball goes, i don't think we have one. But then I was talking to a friend and she suggested if there was enough people we should just have a freshers ball of our own! Don't think it'd take too much organising but hmm...i don't see the point of having an orientation week too, but i heard it's kind of like a second freshers week as nothing much happens so that's fine by me but mmm my liver's not too happy. I've got no info about freshers either, i'm hoping they'll send me some after results day or something.

One thing i do know about freshers though is that i think its 13th-19th according to a friend i just spoke to...so if you're booking flights, i don't think it actually matters when freshers starts to you, because presumably you want to arrive in glasgow on moving in day (which is before freshers) and i think thats 11th sep but im not 100% on that.
well its from sat 10th september at 2pm-we'r apparently allowed into uni residences

Does everyone arrive then? I don't wanna be all on my lonesome! :frown:
iv been looking at the QMU website and its got folk-think its the freshers committee deciding what there should be-but i would'av though most of it would be sorted by now.

And the orientation weeks seems a bit daft-i mean other than find your way about all you have to do is matriculate and meet with your advisor of studies to sort out your courses-anyone know if its before or after freshers week, i pressume after?

They usually put something decent on, don't worry.

If all else fails and you're looking to meet people, as long as you've got your matric card you'll get into Strathclyde fresher's week. (19th - 25th Sept) Girls Aloud played last year, if that's you're thing as did Colin Murry from Radio One. Some Big Brother people made an appearance I think, and Hugh Lennon and his Hypno Dog is a must :biggrin:

Me too... don't know when you saw him, but I went to the one at "Refreshers" Week at the Union in Feb 2004. (Yes, Strathclyde has a middle of the year Fresher's week. Go us !) My mate was up on the stage.. he was the one that had to do all the Michael Jackson dancing :biggrin:
