HELLO


Hello and welcome to the home of Heriot-Watt Student Union Fresher’s Week 2018 – I hope you’re as excited as I am! I'm Lucy, the Vice-President of the Student Union for the Scottish Borders Campus, and working hard to put together a week you won’t forget and I’m looking forward to meeting you all.

Starting on Saturday 1st September, Fresher’s Week is full of events designed to help you settle in to campus life and get to know the people you’ll be living with for the next year. The full programme is still being finalised, but in the meantime check out our frequently asked questions and our section on what to bring with you. The full programme should be ready by the start of August, so make sure you check back and make use of our personalised e-planner, and snap up your Fresher’s Pass!

We can’t wait to meet you in person and welcome you to Heriot-Watt, but if you have any questions between now and then make sure you head to our Facebook or Twitter and ask away.

See you soon!

Lucy
Vice-President SBC
