freshers week

New student week

Freshers week is the first week of the British university year, when new students—freshers—arrive on campus before classes begin.

The week is filled with orientation events, club fairs, and social activities, but it's notorious for heavy drinking and partying: I barely remember freshers week.

Also called freshers' week.
