University of Plymouth

There was loads of events to attend, however as freshers I think ticket prices were slightly high. It was a really good way to bond with your new flat mates and get to know them. The UV paint rave at pryzm was definitely one of the top events.

would like to say a big thankyou to the SU with there 5 jaegerbombs for £10 , helping to keep me nowhere near sober throughout freshers week.

Fresher’s Week at Plymouth University was overall a great experience. There were lots of events at night and throughout the day such as poster sales and themed bar nights - however I would have personally loved if they had organised more activities for those who aren’t particularly interested in going out clubbing every night.

Attending the University on my own was daunting to begin with, but by the second day I was already being asked for shopping trips and social events which was comforting. Events wise there’s always something going on! The student halls seem expensive but that’s England for you.

People underestimate freshers week it is such an important part at the beginning of your university experience. Why? Freshers week is that time in your university life where you get to go out enjoy yourself experiencing what it’s like to be independent and to just have fun. It’s the time where you meet your friends, explore the campus, your city and all the opportunities like societies available. As a second year student I would highly recommend making full use of freshers week. The best thing is you can do it every year and a lot of universities also have a Re-Fresher week normally after Christmas to get you back into the spirit of university. It’s not all about getting drunk but you do have a lot of fun.

The freshers week was very organised and fun. The student union put on events every night and Plymouth nightlife was great especially when meeting new people.

The university is in a fantastic location! Beautiful scenery and a very cool history in the town. The night life is fantastic, there is always something to do! The accommodation is very expensive and I feel that my course (graphic design) is dated and not good.
