What a fantastic Fresher's Fortnight!
There's been Big Fat Quizzes, enough Fresher's Fayre pizza to completely fill the Stripe and some truly bizarre experiences at BOP where everyone partied till they dropped. There's no doubting it was one of the best fortnights we'll ever have.

However the question now remains; what next!? How will we cope between BOPs every week now that Fresher's Fortnight is over?
Never fear! Thankfully there is a solution: The Post-Freshers Bucket List.

Important Things to Remember!
One thing you should always remember - be responsible! Stay with friends, keep an eye on your drink, have plenty of water and don't forget to have fun.
Get watered, not slaughtered.
Remember that local residents live here too. Just think how you would feel if someone rudely woke you up the night before a really early lecture. Respect is the best course of action, especially if you living near the hospital or residents with young children.
Lastly, don't forget the Student Union! Fresher's Fortnight may be over, but we still have an incredible amount of unique events going on throughout the year.
Be sure to have fun exploring your new home, but don't forget to stay safe!
