    Ritual hazing on the roof of the museum building. Usually followed by a flooding of the cricket pitch where all freshman are made swim across in order to gain entry. That and f all else.

    You make friends with people with whom you are not going to be friends after Freshers week. Although you might think otherwise at the time, soon enough you will find yourself one semester in and thinking that you never did go for coffee after all. You will also join about ten too many societies, to get your hands on that sweet sweet Reads tack and maybe an occasional burrito voucher. You will also learn how to eat a burrito, because it's far from burritos that you were raised. There will also be a high chance of SU giving out condoms and diaries, Berocca and pot noodles because those are the things you are apparently supposed to have as a student. Many end up using none of those things. You will probably go on a cable tie pub crawl, a stampede in the Academy or some place, a course talk, a pub crawl, possibly a humorous Phil debate, a pub crawl, a sports centre tour. Jk, nobody goes on the sports centre tour.

    Societies and the SU organise nights out which are fairly well advertised. Societies put on events during the day on campus too.

    TBH first year freshers week will be the worst one; that's not to say it's bad, but for me at least they got a lot better with each year, as I knew more people and got involved in societies etc. People shouldn't worry worry if freshers week in first year isn't great.
