The Facebook competition for Birmingham freshers? It's open to the other universities, i.e. Aston, City etc.

Have any unconditional offer holders not received an email to register yet? A lot of people seem to have received the email but I have nothing

Don't worry, you will receive it very soon! I think they are sending them in several batches... :smile:

I got mine on July 26th and have successfully registered as a student. On the 'my.bham' student portal, it says that students have until the 9th of September to register, so I wouldn't be worrying unduly now. You have still got plenty of time! :smile:

Is it only unconditionals that are receiving accommodation at the moment?

Obviously!

Don't know if you were saying that out of panic, but you technically can not receive an offer of accommodation - which you have to pay £550 for within 4 days - if your place has not been confirmed yet!

Beware - the existing freshers facebook groups are not run by members of the University of Birmingham but by club promoters! Therefore, the events are not the official ones! :smile:

You are free to attend them if you want to mix up with other students and discover Birmingham's night life. But then again, these are NOT LINKED to the upcoming official events of the UoB.

The University of Birmingham organises events for its students only. The Guild of Students, which is the University of Birmingham's student union, has not released its full list of Freshers events/ nights out yet nor started selling any ticket! So, you might want to wait until after A-level Results Day to find out more.

I admit I was slightly panicking, aha, I just want results day to hurry up, see if I'm accepted or not. The wait is so frustrating!

Yeah I realised that the competition was run by club promoters after I made my comment, as it wouldn't make sense for the University to lump all the students together, which is why I'm guessing they (the promoters) haven't claimed to affiliate with any of the universities.

Thanks for all your replies though.

Yes, I'm sure you did. I just thought it would be good to warn the other soon-to-be students too.

I understand, the wait can be stressing sometimes, so we start overthinking things, like 'why am I not receiving an offer of accommodation? Am I the only one in this situation?' :smile:

I can confirm it is normal as you are still waiting on your grades.

Best of luck, just a few more little days to go now. I hope you will get the grades required! Fingers crossed :smile:

I don't think any of them are official unless they're created by the Guild.

Is it just me who keeps getting requests off loads of different 'Facebook Freshers' accounts? So annoying.

Tickets for freshers are now available online! buying them now will save you money under the early bird deal, just follow the link:

https://next.fatsoma.com/events/birmingham-freshers-wristband-week-1?r=94e0d933-8d50-46bc-a255-c18381e680f4

These are not the real Freshers tickets. The guild haven't announced Freshers week events yet and only after this are tickets released for sale. Please only buy your tickets from the guild website. The above link leads to a club promoter website that has nothing to do with the guild. For those of you worrying about not getting tickets, please don't. Loads of people will be selling tickets for the nights they are not going out on and there are several shops in selly oak and on the vale that sell tickets for the popular events such as stupid Tuesdays and vodbull.

Keep checking the guild website for official Freshers information.
