Was very overwhelming but the nightlife and induction was very exciting, meeting new people and going out with friends. Everyone is in the same boat and it's refreshing to know you are in the same position as everyone else
I really enjoyed Freshers week as it acted as an icebreaker and really enabled me to come out of my shell
Freshers week was one of the best weeks of my life. I was able to meet lots of friends who I'm still friends with 3 years later. Events were well advertised on the Facebook page.
More could be done for uni let properties as it can be far more difficult than in halls, events were good just all slightly overpriced as it seems it's a big money maker for a lot of companies and becomes very expensive for students
It was one of the best experiences of my life. Freshers fair was a safe haven for freshers, soo many freebies especially after spending most of you money at freshers week.
The overall experience was eye opening to say the least. The first day I moved in I fell in love with my room and also the town as a whole. It was a surreal feeling to be surrounded by people I never met before who were also in the same boat and it was weird realising that I was left to my own devices pretty much. The first night of freshers involved going to the first club event at freshers and the welcome was really good. That was my first clubbing experience also therefore I could say that was a good first time. For new students I would recommend not to get into the club nights too much and not to assume that the people that you meet at freshers will be your friends forever.
It was great. I went to cameo in Bournemouth and it was zoo themed I went completley over the top and was a bright neon pink flamingo. However when I got to the club I realised that nobody had dressed up anywhere near to the extent I had. Then I had to spend the whole night dancing looking like a bright pink crayon.
The city freshers events (halo, cameo etc) is much better than the SUBU events! Would recommend getting the city fresher wristband and purchasing individual SUBU fresher events if needed!
Freshers week was incredible. The people I met were amazing and I am still good friends with most 3 years later. The event were very fun, particularly the club and pub night's. The freshers fair was also great as I got lots of freebies! I always participate in freshers events even in my second and final year as they are always fun and worth going to.
