Heeeellllooooo Freshers! Welcome to the best years of your life!
We are your elected sabbatical team here at the Student Union and we’re here to make Freshers Week and beyond the best it can be. Freshers begins on the 1st September and to help you get prepared, we’ll be updating this Fresher’s website regularly with loads of info about what to expect from Fresher’s, university life, and living in Edinburgh!
Make sure you keep an eye on our social media channels for the latest updates and don't forget to buy your Freshers Pass before you arrive - it works out cheaper and will have deals galore! If you’re living on campus you can also join your halls Facebook Group to start meeting your new flatmates. If you're living off-campus you can join the Heriot-Watt Fiona Watson Halls page (our virtual halls for people living in town).
For now, have a great summer - don't worry about those results, you'll be grand! If you have any questions in the meantime then be sure to send us an email, message, snapchat or slide into our DMs!
