10 Types Of People You Will Meet In Fresher's Week

The ten people we guarantee you will meet when you go to university.

Starting University can be a challenging time, and you WILL meet a whole new bunch of people. Unlike your small hometown you will be mixing with people from all kinds of places, backgrounds and upbringings. This may be a daunting thought, but it is undoubtedly a positive experience to meet such a diverse group of people. The start of university will see you make numerous awkward introductions where you will say your name, your course and your hometown hundreds if of times. You will be given some daunting reading lists (DO NOT BUY ALL THE BOOKS!). There will be nights of heavy drinking. You will also meet a multitude of new and interesting people; class, ethnicity and age have no real impact at university, so you will find yourself discussing things with a wide variety of people. During your time at whatever institution you choose to study at it is almost certain that you will meet these people. This is by no means an exhaustive list as each and every person is an individual, but you will be able to recognise these traits in nearly everybody you meet during Fresher€™s Week. Some people may be an amalgamation of a few of these descriptions... it is up to you to decide which trait is the dominant one.
