Bristol Freshers Week

I’m hoping to attend Bristol uni this upcoming September, I’m currently in a few offer holder chats and I see that most people have already bought/are buying tickets to attend parties and such. I’m not really a fan of these activities since I’m an introvert and don’t like socialising events, especially if they involve partying, crowds, pubs and alcohol etc. However, I’m worried that if I don’t attend, it’ll be more challenging for me to make friends as I'm an international student and I won’t know a single person there, and I’m desperate to mingle with more people when school starts in Sept. I really want to make more friends in Bristol, otherwise my time there will be so tough as I’m already leaving behind everything I’ve ever known. Does the university organise any freshers events that is compulsory for all to attend, such as playing games during orientation etc and dividing freshers into groups for activities so I won’t have to join any extra add-on ones? I’ve heard from some previous Bristol freshers that during freshers week they weren’t really sure what and when different sorts of events would be held beforehand, and they just kind of had to find out for themselves lol. Any advice would be appreciated xx

Heya, I’m an intl stud as well; kinda with same problem 😅 would you mind getting known each other better? I wanted to DM you but my account is new maybe that’s why I can’t

hey! i saw on the student union website that there are sober socials in the evening for those who aren't into going to parties. I'm not really into going out to parties either haha, i'm sure there are other people like us too. Do you guys want to get in touch?
