Missing freshers

Is it bad to miss the whole of freshers week? Long story short I’m arriving just after it’s finished and people in a gc are all talking about it and my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t have any close friends now and was counting on uni to save me from that, so I’m overthinking the hell out of it.
Ftr I’m going to Strathclyde :smile:

I live 500 miles away and due to my twin sister also going to uni (later in the month) I can’t afford to go any earlier :smile:

Have you got permission to arrive late?

I’m not missing much so it’s fine :smile: and it doesn’t matter anyway, there’s nothing I can do 🤷🏽*♀️

No :smile: all I need to register is to pick up my student card. I will have to ring up SFE as it could impact when I get my loan but as I said, at the end of the day I can’t do anything about it and the uni is already informed :smile:
I would speak to the uni. I know in my case if a student doesnt turn up for registration (first day of freshers) it causes major student finance issues

I’ve contacted them, I think I’m going to contact SFE. Uni for me starts on the 8th (I’ll be registering on the 14th) so perhaps it might be okay bc it isn’t after the first loan payment is due 🤷🏽*♀️
