UCL Freshers' Week

I wish i was doing law...just for freshers week and then change back to my course again...all their activities sounds fun!

I so want to meet you ^^

Edit:
Lawyers Fortnight included Paintballing, France trip (not a weekend, just a booze cruise one day, but it started at 5.30am and ended around 1.00am the next day), Comedy Store Visit, Pub Crawl (with alot of Burlington Berty being sung), Thames cruise ball, Thames "duck" tour with Tate modern visit, speed dating, pub quiz, and a sheisse load of other stuff i just cant remember at the moment.

Can't wait Particularly the France trip, can practice my GCSE french. Is that slide still up in the tate modern?

No.

And lawyers are far from the only department who do a good freshers package or a good follow up through the year.

Actually, hardly any work either, just alot of reading :P and quite a few essays >.>

So it's just loads of reading, and essays; but there's hardly any work?

Hmm.

Whats the electronic engineers freshers like?

Probably **** since I don't really hear about theirs. The large departments like law, medicine/medical school and economics get their act together pretty well. Geography and SSEES as a faculty are sharp too.

There's still plenty of freshers week away from things done by your department. Law end up in the syndrome which kind of works against them, much like it is all year with medics, where they do their own stuff so much, they are sort of in their own world and get quite detached from the rest of UCL which isn't all that healthy in my opinion.

Anyway...

Well i know the electronic engineers have their own society...

Yes... most departments do have a society.

But do they have money? Or people? Or better yet, both?

French are pretty decent too, through the year... I think. Not so sure about Freshers. It's already pretty saturated freshers...

Well, its electronic engineering, i guess the department has **** loads of money + ucls department is ranked 2nd in guardian league. There are 70 places per year i think.

So wait if we have our freshers week with the law society we won't really get the opportunity to meet people from other faculties. That's kinda lame.

Nah just go along to your selection of activities from the Law side and the General pool, as it were.

Er, no. The department having money doesn't mean they pass it on to students to go spend as they please.

Put it this way, I don't hear of EE students getting subsidised to go on Eurostar trips to Paris (Economics) or have balls at 5 start hotels on Park Lane (Law), nor do I hear of them going on Thames River cruises (not that expensive but still, medics, law, ssees etc.) and for manpower, they can't manage to hit every hall in freshers week to physically round up people for their events (geography - and I think they should be really proud of doing that because really, students are pretty lazy about a lot of things).

It is true that money isn't everything when it comes to getting a society and in fact, people is by far the biggest thing, but I think the above paints some of the picture of where momentum currently lies.

That said, there are literally, hundreds of things on during freshers week and much of it is spontaneous.
