The University of Bath

To attend the freshers events you need to buy a freshers wristband like any other university in the country however, the university doesn’t have enough wristbands to sell for the whole freshers cohort. Therefore, some students including myself couldn’t attend the freshers events alongside our new flat mates which is highly disappointing.

move in experience was good, the events are awful though if you're into anything other than generic chart music

When I first moved in, there wasn’t a lot of help in terms of information about freshers week or direction about where things were. There weren’t many freshers events and the ones that they had were expensive and far away from the town centre.

Move in was good, accommodation was terrible and unclean, the events at night lacked variety and most importantly fun. It wasn’t the massive party it was hyped to be and could take a note out of some Australian universities books for freshers week.

Go to as many sports club/societies as possible to build a network across your University! Also first year is not as easy as people tell you, so work hard.

I've never really been a fan of most of the things that go on during fresher's week from what I've heard from others... Not that I didn't try to include myself in these events to get to know my roommates, but arriving a bit later than most of them AND my views on the general party/nightclub scene made me very sceptical that I'd actually make any friends at all at university. However, I did manage to meet people; and to quote from the all-time classic "the cat in the hat" with regards to my "social" "life", 'those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind'.

Great move in and flat Some Freshers events were a little disappointing The Freshers fair was alright but didn't get enough freebies so very disappointed in myself for that
