7 Different Types of People at Freshers’ Week

All freshers know that Freshers’ Week is the perfect time to meet new people with the hope of making new friends at university. Here are 7 types of people you’ll definitely come across during Freshers’ Week this year.

1. The totally lost ones

These students don’t know anyone there, they have no idea where anything is and where they should go. Some are too shy and scared to ask around, while others constantly ask for directions trying to figure out where they should go.

2. “I came for the freebies”

Probably the majority of the students present fall into this category. These students just go around from one stand to another, collecting all they can find, and then go home.

3. Organisations Members

Those running around with the organisation’s t-shirt, and boxes full of freebies. Some might also be seen taking photos to publish them on their Facebook page and having a great time with members from other organisations.

4. The organised ones

The freshers who are in total panic, trying to make their timetable perfect, and to get to know where all venues are so that they will be on time for their first lecture. They attend all meetings and orientation sessions and ensure a trip to the organisation of their faculty or department.

5. The ones who think they already own the place

Most of these would have already been in an organisation at Junior College and would come to University thinking they are already better than everyone else because they know a lot of people there.

6. I need a woman

Those non-freshers that will come to freshers’ just to look at the “fresh women”.

7. Party-poopers

Those people who will complain that Freshers’ Week is a whole waste of time and that this is in no way educational.
