There\u2019s a certain legend cultivated around Freshers\u2019 Week, that it should be the best and wildest week of your university experience. But although Freshers\u2019 Week can be a lot of fun<\/strong>, for most people, myself included, university gets a lot better afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Arriving with my parents to move into Alcuin<\/a> felt very surreal. It hit me how far from home I was, and no matter how nice the accommodation was, the dorm layout was going to take some getting used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they left, I plucked up the courage to venture into the kitchen and mingle with my new flatmates. We\u2019d had a group chat set up before arriving, so I vaguely knew who everyone was (though a Facebook profile can reveal surprisingly little). Lizzie remembered me from pun exchanges we\u2019d had on the group chat, and we immediately hit it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first day went incredibly quickly, and soon we were pre-ing for our first night out, which was held at Derwent\u2019s Courtyard Bar. The theme was ‘animals’ with each Alcuin block going as animals corresponding with their block letter. In Q Block, we chose Queen Bees! Though it was a great night and I quickly discovered I’d a very friendly bunch of flatmates, I headed back early, exhausted from the long journey to York. As did my flatmate Beth, and we sat and had a cup of tea before turning in. Although I was very homesick, I was still having a really good time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Freshers'<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Freshers’ Week clubbing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Though I\u2019m not much of a clubbing person, I was determined to get my money\u2019s worth out of my Freshers\u2019 wristband. This is one aspect of York\u2019s freshers\u2019 week which is very different to a lot of other places. At some other universities, freshers are left to their own devices to choose which clubs to go to. As there are so few clubs in York, the wristband system prevents overcrowding. It also ensures that you get to see pretty much everything that York\u2019s nightlife has to offer. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another unusual thing about York is that you have STYCs (Second and Third Year Contacts) looking out for you all week. Each flat has two STYCs assigned, and they\u2019re there to help you out with any worries that you have. They make sure that everyone gets to and from the clubs safely. Though some people found this a bit overkill, I found it reassuring to know that someone was there if I wanted to head home early<\/strong>. Plus, it really helps to have someone take you to each club, rather than needing to rely on Google Maps. Jordan and Molly were absolutely lovely, and still say hi to us when they see us out on the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next night out was to be at Kuda, with a superhero theme. We soon realised after arriving at the club that we were the only ones that had bothered with fancy dress! <\/strong>Regardless, it made for some great photos<\/strong>. Everyone around us was too busy having a good time to notice our costumes. I seldom went to Kuda after Freshers\u2019 Week as the music isn’t to my taste, but at least I can say I gave it a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introductory lectures and other activities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know how I managed to go out five times that week, considering that\u2019s more than the total times that I\u2019ve been out in my first term of second year. Did I mention that the English department also had introductory lectures during my Freshers\u2019 Week? If your course has these, don\u2019t skip them to stay in bed. These lectures give a great overview of the module<\/strong>. They’re often hosted in places where you’ll have your lectures in future \u2013 attending helps you get your bearings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren\u2019t sure about the clubbing aspect of Freshers, don\u2019t feel pressured into it. There were plenty of non-drinking activities on offer<\/strong> like bowling, trampolining and movie nights. I think that the STYC system helps those, like me, who don\u2019t feel so confident on nights out to give it a go safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Freshers’ Week<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s likely, whether you have a great or a subpar Freshers\u2019 Week, you\u2019ll have better times ahead. For me, Freshers was certainly a week I won\u2019t forget<\/strong>. But once I\u2019d settled in properly, I was able to enjoy nights out and other social events more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, you\u2019ll love your course, and you\u2019ll have the chance to meet loads more lovely people outside of your flat. There\u2019s so much of York<\/a> to explore that a singular week simply can\u2019t do it justice!<\/p>\n
