Useful Information
Freshers’ Passes
The week-long party is available only to students with Freshers’ Passes which cost just £40: that’s essentially a quarter of the price of most festivals which only last for two days, not five!
Remember, in order to attend ALL of the activities provided by the student bodies you must sign up for a Freshers’ Pass.
To sign up for a pass:
- Go to the Freshers’ Week website and read the FAQ.
- Follow the link on the website to buy your pass online (or download the postal registration form).
- Print out the confirmation email we send you when you purchase is confirmed and bring it with you in September.
Easy!
Freshers’ fair
The biggest and best introduction to all the student bodies, Clubs and Societies, University services and businesses you’ll be using for the next four years, the Freshers’ Fair runs for two days during Freshers’ Week.
The Freshers’ Fair will be full of interesting people and organisations who will make your time at University that bit more exciting. You’ll pick up some great tips and information, not to mention a variety of freebies. For more information, keep an eye on the Freshers’ Week 2011 website.
Freshers’ helpers
As current students of the University who have been hand-picked for their enthusiasm and friendliness, Freshers’ Helpers are recruited for one purpose: to enable you to have the best time possible during Freshers’ Week. They’ll be able to answer any questions you may have about the city and the University, help you to move into your halls of residence, and generally be a friendly face when you need it. Helpers representing every student body will be wearing coloured t-shirts to help you identify them on campus throughout the week and this year SRC Helpers will be wearing a fetching purple.
SRC campus to halls minibuses and night buses
To help you get settled in, and find your way around, the SRC will be running Minibuses from Campus to Halls during the morning and evening of Freshers’ Week.
Times and routes will vary from the usual timetables, so check out http://www.glasgowstudent.net and your Freshers’ Week information for times.
To ease your travel home after nights out at the Unions during Freshers’ Week there will also be a night bus service, stewarded by the friendly Freshers’ Helpers, running from the Main Gate from 2300 until close – an easy and safe way to get home during your first week on campus.
