Welcome Week promises a memorable start, filled with a range of activities, lasting connections, and plenty of fun! This time aims to help you get familiar with university life, introduce you to fellow students, and let you experience what university has to offer. For most newcomers, Freshers’ Week might feel intense, but with a little planning, you can ensure you enjoy every moment and start your university experience on the right foot. Here’s how you can master this exciting week.

First and foremost, don’t be afraid to dive into as many activities as possible. University fairs, campus parties, and society meet-and-greets are all great opportunities to make friends and explore the university culture. Freshers’ fairs, in particular, present all the student clubs, sports clubs, and options open at your university. From dance to debate, you’ll find clubs for any interest. Sign up for page anything that piques your curiosity—you can’t predict what interest or group could become a major part of your routine.

Finally, pace yourself and stay organised. Orientation Week comes with a full schedule, so consider planning your schedule and allow yourself some downtime. Moving into a new environment can be intense, so it’s important to make time to recharge. Connect with your dorm mates or classmates and arrange a casual hangout—it’s an excellent opportunity to bond beyond the events. By the end of the first week, you’ll feel more familiar with your campus and the possibilities ahead. Jump in, make new connections, and embrace this unique start to college life!
