Welcome can be pretty overwhelming right? You’ve got a long list of ‘to dos’ including registering with a GP, buying your bus pass if you’re off campus and the small matter of finding your way around what might be a brand new city.
In order that some of our fun and informative Welcome activities don’t just pass you by, we’ve distilled them into a list below. Give it a scan and make a note of anything that floats your boat. You can read the full programme of events organised by The Guild on their website.
- Welcome Party
Sunday 17 September, 8.30pm-1am
You are cordially invited to the ultimate Welcome Party, hosted in Mountford Hall. Mark the start of student life with sets from Twisted Wheel, Backchat Brass and our very own house DJ. It’s free to attend and we’ll be running a free bus service from Greenbank with the first bus leaving at 8:30pm. Interested in coming along but worried about going alone? There’s a get together before the party starts, where you can meet students in the same situation and go to the party as a group. The pre-meet starts at 6pm in the Gilmour Room in the Guild. - Welcome Talks in Mountford Hall
Monday 18 – Tuesday 19 September
Across Monday and Tuesday we will be officially welcoming new students to the University. Each department will get a 30 minute slot (you will be contact about this separately) and there will be stalls on Guild Street (inside the Guild), where you can pick up practical information that you will need, including local GP details. - Love Liverpool

Monday 18 September, from 6pm
if you’re more of a night-in that a night-out person why not join us in our very own cinema room in The Guild for a showing of 10 Things I Hate About You! Come along on your own or with fellow students, all are Welcome at this ice-breaker movie night! - Meet the Teams
Tuesday 19 September, from 10am

Come along to University Square and meet some of them, including Careers, Student Support and more. - Comedy Night and pre-meet
Tuesday 19 September, pre-meet is 6-7pm
Comedy Night is back at The Guild and we’ve got a whole selection of performers on standby, ready to make our new cohort of students belly laugh.
