🔥 What Happened Last Year?

Loughborough Freshers Week 2024 was one for the books. The Students’ Union pulled out all the stops with:

• Massive themed club nights (think jungle, UV, 90s throwback)

• Freshers Bazaar, with hundreds of sports teams and societies

• Sing-Off competitions between halls

• Day trips to IKEA, Alton Towers and even beach days

• The Freshers Ball, with surprise guest DJs and headliners

The energy around campus was electric, and halls across town—from William Morris and Falk Egg to Elvyn Richards and Faraday—were buzzing day and night.

⏳ Freshers Week 2025: When Is It?

While the official line-up hasn’t been released yet, it’s expected to drop in the next week. Typically, Freshers Week kicks off in late September, running for 7–10 days after move-in weekend.

The best place to stay up to date is the official LSU Freshers site: https://freshers.lsu.co.uk

While we’re waiting on the full timetable, here’s what most students can expect during Loughborough Freshers Week 2025:

• Welcome parties & intro talks in your halls

• Sing-Off and hall socials to build early friendships

• Themed club nights at LSU: Stuesday, Hey Ewe, FND, and more

💬 What Are Students Saying?

“The Freshers Ball last year was insane—DJ came out in a gold suit and played until 2am.”

“I didn’t know anyone before I moved in, but after Freshers Week, I had a whole group of mates.”

“I was so glad I didn’t waste money on the full wristband—just picked a few events that suited me.”

From halls groups to campus-wide socials, students agree: it’s about saying yes, getting stuck in, and not stressing if you miss the odd event.

✅ How to Prepare

With Loughborough Freshers just around the corner, here’s how to get ready:

• Join your hall’s group chat (often found on WhatsApp or Facebook)

• Buy hall subs if you plan to attend your hall’s own events

• Wait before buying a full Freshers Pass—check what’s actually included

• Pack comfy shoes, themed outfits, and earplugs (trust us)

• Don’t over-commit: you don’t need to attend every event to have a good time
