Freshers' Week Team

Freshers' week managers and captains are a group of students that are here to ensure you have the best Freshers’ possible. You’ll see the managers around campus wearing purple t-shirts and the captains in green t-shirts.

They'll be there to look out for you during the daytime and evening events, from helping you move in to scoping out the best spots on campus to grab a bite to eat. They’ll be there to support you and show what the SU and the university has to offer!

Look out for posts on socials as they will have the best tips on how to make the most out of Freshers’ week.

Why did you apply to be a FWEM?

I had such a great Freshers week myself in first year and applied to be a captain last year. I loved helping and I want to make it just as amazing for the new students this year!

Favourite SU Memory?

Summer ball - it was such a wholesome way to wrap up my university experience and was a special night with all the people I have met along the way!

Drink of Choice?

Obsessed with iced chai or matcha this summer.

Go to Uni Meal?

Any kind of pasta bake – so easy to make in bulk and you can’t go wrong!

Top Tip for Incoming Freshers?

Say Yes! Try new things even if you're nervous – you might surprise yourself! Remember, everyone is in the same boat, so be yourself, be friendly, and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there.

What are you most looking forward to about FW25?

The roller disco and the inflatables course in Founders Hall! Definitely having a go on the rodeo bull!

Why did you apply to be a FWEM?

It’s not often you get the opportunity to put together a week that will welcome in thousands of students! I wanted to help create an exciting introduction to the University in 2025 and gain experience organising a diverse range of events.

Favourite SU Memory?

Either the petting zoo or inflatables during study well week, both reminded me of being a kid :)

Drink of Choice?

Papaw’s milk tea with x2 tapioca (large ofc) or an iced matcha from Mjölk!

Go to Uni Meal?

Quorn nuggets, pasta (fusilli), cheese. But the pasta has to be concerningly overcooked.
Top Tip for Incoming Freshers?

If you are worried in any way that Freshers’ Week isn’t meant for you, trust us, it is! Even if you don’t feel you are extroverted enough, or if you don’t enjoy things like clubbing, there are so many things for you to do where you can find your people.

The Welcome Ball is right up my alley, love dressing up and having a dance
