Freshers week at Pollock Halls for Under 18s

I was already 18 during freshers, but I don't drink or party, and I still had an amazing time! Societies will be putting up all sorts of events, there'll be Ceilidhs, trips to Arthur's seat, to the Castle, potlucks, and a million other things, all during the day. There'll also be events on at night where you don't need to be 18 to join, such as some of the Ceilidhs, and possibly some specific society things, like meetups. I can guarantee that you'll make bunches of friends, and that you'll have an awesome time going out on your 18th with all your new friends!

Genuinely maybe consider borrowing someone's ID. You don't necessarily need to go clubbing but in all honesty a lot of good flat bonding is done on nights out. As long as you're at least there for pre drinks though you should be fine. Can always post on the facebook page and see if there are any other 17 year olds that want to hang out one night when everyone is going clubbing.

yeh i was thinking of borrowing someones ID, do you think Id be able to get away with that, like is it common for people who borrow IDs to get away with it in Edinburgh.

I don't turn 18 until 3 weeks after freshers. I am slightly worried that freshers wont be as enjoyable for me as I wont be able to go out and make as many friends. I get that you can make lots of friends after freshers but I still want to have a good time for my first week and I don't want to feel depressed in the first week. Does anyone have any advice or info about how freshers is for 17 year olds.
