Maturing is realising…

• You don’t need to go to every event (but you will) 👀
• Your first friends won’t necessarily be your forever friends 🫶
• It’s okay to say no to a night out and then go anyway
• Welcome Week is more than just drinking 🍻
• You actually go to the Freshers fair
• The 9am lecture WILL come around 😭
• Taking pictures > remembering the night
• Your uni experience is what YOU make it

Welcome Week 2026… make it count. 🎓✨

Early bird tickets are now available in our Instagram bio

🤝 “I’m only going to make a few friends”
🍻 “I’ll just have one”
🪩 “I’m not going out tonight”
📚 “I’m definitely going to stay on top of work”
😭 “How is it already Friday?”

Welcome Week 2026… we’re so ready for you. 👀

📅 13 September — let the chaos commence.

5 things you NEED to do at Welcome Week 👀

1️⃣ Freshers Fayre…say less

2️⃣ Make friends with someone you’ve never met
Your first-week friendship could become your whole uni friendship group.

3️⃣ Try something completely new
Society. Sport. Fitness. Volunteering. Whatever. Just don’t spend Welcome Week in your room.

4️⃣ Have at least ONE unforgettable night
You’ll remember the stories way longer than the hangover. Probably.

5️⃣ Say yes more than you say no
Welcome Week only happens once. Make it count. 🫶

…but there’s actually a 6th thing nobody tells you 👀

MAKE THE MOST OF WELCOME WEEK NIGHTS.
Not just the events. Not just the nights out. The random moments, the people you meet, the memories you weren’t expecting.

Because your Welcome Week isn’t something you watch happen.

You’re the main character. 🎬

Welcome Week? Yeah… we’re doing it properly. 🔥
