In my first year I had a good week, it kind of went on for more than a week but was fun. The freshers ball was not as enjoyable as it could have been

Freshers week at Solent was amazing, I joined lots of societies got lots of freebies and made loads of new friends! Solent freshers week is the best by far, there was free food, free sweets and most of all free alcohol. There was so many local businesses around and even big companies such as dominos pizza, it was a fun experience and I had such a good time, the freshers fair was the best bit, where I got all the freebies, there was loads of games to win stuff and loads of discounts and all sorts, of highly recommend this uni for anyone

Moving in was a fun experience for me as my excitement overcrowded the nerves. I was greeted by my flat mates who were all friendly and helpful. We had all purchased freshers tickets for some of the events held in the clubs and we went to most of them. These tickets were expensive for the nights we had experienced; I.e paying £15 a ticket in oceana for only a couple people to walk around in stilts and no other entertainment of any kind. Overall, I had a great freshers week and felt that it was a good icebreaker to get to know my flat and also meet other people aswell.

It was very fun. I went out e ery night for two weeks. I'm alternative so socialising with normal people is difficult and I didn't meet many friends but it was fun. Very expensive tho. I recommend deals e. G. AAA bands. My freshers fair was awful. So boring and very few societies.

Freshers week had some great events. Big acts, big nights, fun themes. The best was definitely BNO which is basically just a massive pub crawl with rewards.

Freshers was amazing, I had never been to something like this before and the first time experience was a good experience. It was exciting to get lots of freebies and mooch around the area. The staff were fun energetic and welcoming.

Freshers week was good. I found moving away from home very stressful and quite depressing, so going to an organised event where you know everyone is in the same boat is quite reassuring. There was lots of helpful information about the town and such, and great stuff like pizza and chicken wings. The only downside is that I wasn't introduced to how shit the university was, how poorly I was going to be treated. At least I felt good for a few weeks to begin with.
