You get a freshers pass, it gets you into the two unions' events.

Though the day-time things don't really require a pass. It's just the gigs/ball/cheesy/hive that need one, and even then I think you can sign people in that are 18+. (not sure)


Not sure you can sign people in!

And the weekend events aren't fresher specific I don't think...just the weekday ones iirc

It's excellent...


Neddy, sweaty, over priced, poor service and full of underage people.

I found out about two weeks before moving up to Glasgow. It depends on whether you have an unconditional or a conditional though

Me! History's my last exam so I'm horrifically underprepared. My plan is to learn the sources from my seminars and read over the lecture notes, then try to learn key events that could be useful in any question in a bit of detail - things like the French Revolution I guess. It's just such a broad module I have no idea what to do. My essay was surprisingly good so hopefully that'll even it out, but I'd like to do pretty well, I've really enjoyed the course.

Honestly, i have detested every minute of the course and can't wait to finish it! This is making revision difficult! I'm struggling with how broad it is. Can't see how i can possibly be fully prepared for it. My essay was a lot better than i expected but not great!

What were your seminar topics? Mine were Race and Ethnicity and State Formation. Got to learn State Formation for the essay part and Race and Ethnicity for the source question.
