Attending getting to know people sessions

Hi guys, is it mandatory to attend the 'getting to know people on your course 'sessions? And how is it any different from induction where you already meet everyone ? Thanks x

This will vary from uni to uni, so it's hard to be certain unless we know where you're studying

Hi,
As the post above suggests, it depends on your uni. They usually aren't mandatory but strongly encouraged. They're a bit more relaxed than induction with icebreakers and group activities as opposed to presentations. I'd say go if you can, it's a nice low-pressure way to meet people before lectures properly kick in.
Hope this helps!

Hiya!
As others have said, it’s a great opportunity to meet new people and feel more settled, whether it’s compulsory or not. I attended these sessions during my introduction week, and it was a really nice experience. It gave me the chance to meet people before university officially started, and from there, we decided to go to a few fresher activities together instead of going alone, which was reassuring.
I hope this helps and enjoy Freshers week/s
