Getting ready for freshers...

Tomorrow students start moving into university halls. For over a week Selly Oak has seemed increasingly busy, students are coming back and gearing up for the new academic year.

In the Guild a lot of preparation has, and still is, going on for Welcome Week. On Monday will be the Wellbeing fair which is your opportunity to find out about healthy living and sport. On Tuesday there will be the Community Fair where you will be able discover more about the area where you live. Also on Tuesday is the Change the World Fair where you can find out about the various campaigning opportunities in the Guild to make the world a better place. Wednesday sees the Volunteering Fair, the first opportunity student have to find out about the ways to get involved in volunteering. On Wednesday and Thursday there is the Jobs Fair, for students who think they will have to earn while they study. Also on Wednesday up at the Munrow Sports Centre is the Sports Fair.

On Tuesday and Wednesday is the Freshers Fair. This is your opportunity to pick up all the amazing freebies you think you need but may eventually throw away. There will be a range of local and national companies with amazing offers for various bars, nightclubs and entertainment. On Thursday and Friday is the Societies Fair. This is the big opportunity students have to see all the societies within the Guild, sign up for emails, and get involved! With over 160 societies there is something to suit everyone...

Whatever you do over the next week, make sure you pop along!
