Monday 19 September 2011

Freshers Week is just around the corner and we are all excited for the students to return and for the week to kick off! We know that there is so much going on, with too much to do and too little time. So we thought we’d help you out with planning your week by providing a short guide to the green freshers events so that you don’t miss out on any of the exciting times ahead!
