What is Freshers?

 

So, you've been accepted into Leicester! Congratulations! We can't wait to meet you. But in the meantime, you will be spending your Summer prepping for what's to come, which might leave you asking... What exactly is Freshers?

Freshers is a welcome period at UK Universities for students both new and returning. It is a chance to get to know the area you're going to be studying in, the campus, and your coursemates. Its the perfect way to blow off a bit of steam before the grind starts!

Here's a quick breakdown of what the Students' Union has in store for you... More things will be added as we get closer to Freshers week, so keep an eye on our socials (@leicesterunion) or What's On page!
