HELLO!


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 your Freshers Week and beyond the best it can be. Freshers begins on the 7th 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 or Galashiels!

Make sure you keep an eye on our social media channels (HWUnion) for the latest updates and don't forget to buy your Freshers Bundle 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 "I don't live in Halls" group to find others living near by or en route to Uni!

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!

Rahul, Aoife, Kieran & Rafael
President, VP Wellbeing, VP Community & VP Scottish Borders

Ailie and Angela's Advice for Freshers

It’s possible that the prospect of starting uni in a few days is starting to stress you out a bit! Here at the Student Union, we have Ailie and Angela, our wonderful Student Advisors, who are here to help make sure that things run smoothly.

 
What to Bring

Freshers is fast approaching! It might be a little premature to start packing your bags now but it's definitely time to start giving it a thought.

 
Being Away from Home

For most of you, this will probably be the first time you’ve ever been away from home. Nobody to nag you, ask where you’re going or wait up for you... It also means that there’s nobody to tidy up after you, cook for you or nurse you when you’re sick.
