BREAKING NEWS from WARWICK STUDENT'S UNION:
http://www.warwicksu.com
Freshers 2013 line-up announced:
28th September: MTV Welcome Party
29th September: MTV Welcome Party
30th September: Paint Party
1st October: Warwick Snow presents Avalanche!
2nd October: Pop!
3rd October: Jaguar Skills Live!
4th October: Get Funked** // Drop
5th October: Crash // MiTunes**
6th October: Warwick Comedy Society presents...
7th October: Hall Wars
8th October: Warwick Student Cinema Pub Quiz // Latin Night
9th October: Pop! // Quackstar Karaoke**
10th October: Cleverducks Pub Quiz**
11th October: FRESHERS PARTY! (Las Vegas Theme)
12th October: Beer Pong Tournament // Saturday Session**
13th October: Comedy Hypnotist
Wow! What a line up! You freshers have a lot in store for your first few weeks!
Individual tickets will go on sale (projected) on the 11th of September. Individual SU tickets will be in the region of £3-6 depending on the event, maybe more for special events. In order to buy tickets you will need to register for an ITS user account, which you do when you enrol (from the 11th of September). All tickets are stored electronically on your university card.
Freshers Passport: This will cost £58 and will get you into all union events from 30th September to 13th October (inclusive)
Platinum Pass: This will cost £200 and will get you into all union events all year!
Freshers T-Shirts: You can buy these at £5. **May include entry to MTV Welcome Party, but not guaranteed or confirmed**
Information for Under-18s: Due to problems with letting in under-18s in the past, you will, unfortunately, not be allowed entry to the clubnights. The SU have gotten a little bit better this year with non-drinking events, but it has been poorly advertised on the website compared with other universities who have special, 'non-drinking' sections of their website (something that has always bugged me about the SU). However, the starred events are available for Under-18s or non-drinkers. There may be alcohol available at these events, but you will be ID'd.
Fresher's Fair: Essentially your chance to turn up and get lots and lots of free goodies! This will run in the SU all day Saturday and all day Sunday, and is essentially the big company's opportunity to throw free items and leaflets at you. There will be useful information there as well, such as signing up for job websites, or getting that bit extra contents insurance. Go along anyway if none of this interests you, Domino's will be giving out free pizza all day!
Indoor Market: On the 30th of September. This is essentially just a market. Pick up some cheap DVDs or clothes, and maybe some cakes!
Sports Fair: 1st October. This is the sports club's chance to throw THEIR advertising at you! Go along if you want to chat about anything to any of the sports clubs! They're all student run, and all very friendly! Who knows? Maybe Water Polo is your next big thing!
Society Fair: As for the sports fairs, this is your chance to have a browse of some of the societies that are on offer here at Warwick. As the university with most in the country, there will be something for everybody! This will be held on the 2nd and 3rd of October.
Democracy and Campaigning Fair: Fancy getting involved in union politics? Well this is your chance to find out more! You'll even be able to nominate yourself for the Union Council if you feel like getting involved straight away! This is on the 3rd October.
Volunteering Fair: On the 4th of October, Warwick Volunteers will be available from 10-3.30 to field any questions about volunteering here at Warwick. There're all sorts of projects, from volunteering at schools to digging and chopping in the woods to painting murals!

Well, lots more stuff's just been updated for you

The volunteering fair is on the 4th from 10 till 4
Updated, thanks
. This isn't on the SU website and is behind a password on the warwick volunteers page . Maybe something you should consider getting into the wider web so freshers can start to have a look? (or get in touch with someone who can do this?) Original post by Nirgilis

Are all the events taking place will have some presence of alcohol by any chance...I HOPE NOT! By the way who else is doing classical archaeology and ancient history

I have this gripe with the SU also. Some of the events, such as the quizzes, don't require alcohol, but it certainly will be available!
Your best bet is to jump into societies and sports club sessions. They generally tend to be free in the first few weeks, you have fun and there's no alcohol!

Been accepted to study Maths (or any joint degree involving maths modules)? Then don't forget to join the Maths freshers group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/warwickmaths13/ and the Warwick Maths Society group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/WarwickMathsSociety/. These groups are both run by the Warwick Maths Society and are very useful for communicating with other people on the course and for finding out about upcoming society-run events.

That's one of the reasons Warwick doesn't have a dedicated freshers week
. Seriously, do jump into societies straight away. After freshers fortnight, people generally tend to calm down and drink less frequently

Heh. There's all sorts of societies!
. Seriously, I cannot tell you, you need to explore yourself... . I'm personally part of the Student Cinema and Juggling societies, so nothing niche as it were I study Chemical Biology here at Warwick. Just going in to my third year, so more than qualified to answer any questions you might have!
