Summary
If you are a new student, your life will probably change in the month October. Because all things that month are new, your new study, you meet new people; it can be overwhelming and confusing. This is also the reason that this is the busiest month for universities in the UK. They organize a Freshers´ Week for newcomers. In this week you can settle into university life, make some friends and join a club. This article gives some very usual top tips what to do if you are a newcomer. Freshers´ week can give you a very great and motivated start of your study.
My opinion
I think the Freshers’ Week is very similar to the in Dutch called “Introductieweek”. This week can be very fun and good for people who are not social. But be realistic, you can’t change from non-social to social in one week, it is only a start to get social. It looks like that this article wants to show us that a Freshers’ Week is the best and only way to get social, during your first period on a university, but I think that there are many ways to get social. Some tips on the other hand are very useful I think.

Interesting story Mike! I've been to the introweek twice, first time as a student and the second time as a superviser(papa). You should sign-up for papa, you will have a great week and you also gain a ECT!
I think the freshweek is an important start for the new students, because out of school people are who they really are. If they would met each other for the very first time at school, they could get a wrong first impression of a person. Besides after freshweek students won't be that nervous at their first schoolday anymore.
