Do you have any tips for making friends during freshers?
When in halls, keep your door open, help move in your new flatmates, remember you are about to spend a year with them.
Join a sports club/society, simple!
Introduce yourself to your next door neighbours, you never know when you’ll need to borrow something.

Haha, memory.

The Big Quiz, Freshers' Fairs and having all the students back in Aber.
What advice would you give to new students?
Bring a decent raincoat, it will rain, a lot. Don’t buy tonnes of crockery and cutlery, you will only probably end up using one plate/bowl and cutlery set. Know your limits when it comes to going out and of course enjoy yourself!
