Move-in was so a daunting until it came to the actual day. On the day I was greeted with members of the uni to help my transition be seemless and it truly was. Additionally it was an amazing way for me to meet new people who had experienced freshers before.

I worked Freshers week this year as I had never experienced a freshers week before. Honestly the best experience I have ever had. The people made you feel so welcome and comfortable. Ever day I learned something new and made a new friend. freshers definitely brought me out of my shell and made me more confident in social settings. I would have never dared to go out for Freshers if it wasn't for the people I met during my volunteering for freshers week.

This week was the most amazing experience ever. I had some of the best nights out of the whole year in Freshers. Amazing week, Highly recommended

Had a really fun experience meeting new people and enjoying socialising. However I do feel like university is very lonely and they should make more day activities for university as you don’t have much to do during the day if you are not at your lectures. And maybe on site helpers during the first week as you have no idea what to do or where to go within the first week. Overall still fun !

Moved in early, locked myself out while answering the door but the turn of events lead me to my close friends, as I got invited to a flat party, all I say is if you get locked out first day don't worry, you might meet your best friends.

It was awesome. Loads of party, met a lot of new people and got to know the city better. Everyone around was excited and that made the experience even better. The thing that made my experience better was the strong impact of a student city, and how strang/nice it is to just walk around and see students everywhere.

I went out 16 days in a row got absolutely smashed and spent all of my loan. Resutlting in me eating noodles for the full first semester but on a whole was worth it. 5/5 TripAdvisor would definitely recommend.

It was a good week. Easy move in, lots of freshers week activities organised. Lots of free stuff which helped me transition into uni life.

Really easy transitional process, great nights out meeting new people and having some drinks.The events, including bar crawls were well organised. Induction days were informational and helped to understand the outlay for the course.
