freshers’ week 2010
what is freshers’ week?
A festival to launch you into university life, run by all the student organisations on campus -
this is the biggest student party you’ll ever go to. You’ll already have an idea what student life
is all about, but by the end of freshers’ week - you’ll know.
You’ll know which bars to go to (there’s more than 10 of them on campus alone) - and where
to get a recovery breakfast in the morning. You’ll know your way around campus and best
places to hang out and catch the banter.
Most importantly, you’ll meet the people that you’re going to spend the next few years of
your life with. The people you will party until dawn with; the people you’ll phone up when
you need a bit of inspiration when it gets to 4am and that essay is due in at midday. People
you’ll stay in touch with for the rest of your life; people you’ll have a wild 24 hours with and
then never see again. The festival only lasts a week but the freshers’ week experience will stay
with you for life.
what can I expect?
There are events running all week from 10am to 3am the next morning. Ranging from bands
and dJs in the unions at night to tours of campus and seminars during the day. last year
saw acts like Pendulum, Twin Atlantic, Judge Jules and Ministry of Sound pack dance floors
across campus. Meanwhile in the bars, comedy fresh from the likes of Simon Bird, pub quizzes,
games and some of glasgow’s best dJs kept the crowd happy whilst resting their feet. This
year will be even bigger than last, with refurbished venues, more bands and guest dJs along
with all the usual festivities.
Freshers’ week isn’t all about getting drunk every night and waking up with a headache -
there’s a full programme of events designed to introduce you to glasgow life and help you
meet like minded people.
last year saw an alternative bus tour of the city’s clubs, theatres, cafes and boutiques; a
language cafe for meeting foreign language speakers; demonstrations from and introductions
from student media to community projects; student led tours of campus showing all the
places you need to know as well as the ones you’re not supposed to; The Freshers’ Fair which,
spread over two days and various old university halls, provides the opportunity to meet
the 100 or so student clubs and societies who have all the information you need if you are
thinking about joining as well as companies giving out freebies in a bid to win your custom.

what else then?
You can wake yourself up by getting some fresh air and exercise at the many sports taster
sessions run by the university sports association. last year there were over 50 different sports
and activities covered in a range of venues from the gym, to the playing fields, to the local
tennis club and even out to the picturesque Bardowie loch for some water sports.
Sessions are designed for both the complete novice and for those who are looking to continue
playing a sport at uni which they already enjoy. Some of the highlights from last year which
you should keep an eye out for, alongside the more popular options were: snowboarding,
combat sports demonstrations, trampolining, sailing, yoga, gaelic football, American football,
curling, shinty and fencing.
A guide to the week with full listings, timetables and a map will be included with your
Freshers’ Pass, events will be listed at gla.ac.uk/freshersweek/ as they’re announced.
