London Met Freshers’ 2018
London Met’s freshers’ activity starts on Monday 24 September 2018. We have an incredible package ready for all you lucky new starters.
There are two weeks of amazing events and entertainment, followed by a huge closing party on Friday 12 October, the ‘Freshers’ Finale’. There are events of all kinds, and for all tastes 🙂
We also hold two great Freshers’ Fairs at our Holloway and Aldgate campuses, for you to learn all about uni and get some great deals and freebies.
The best place to get most up-to-date information is by following our Facebook page and our @londonmetevents Twitter feed.
Our two Freshers’ Fairs are held in Aldgate campus on Wednesday 3 October (at The Wash Houses, 11am – 3pm), and at Holloway campus on Thursday 4 October (held in The Great Hall and The Rocket).
Most events are free for Freshers, you can get a free entry wristband from our student venue The Rocket, or from our events team at enrolment around the different campuses.
Make sure you don’t miss out of the Freshers’ Finale… it’s the biggest event during the start of year festivities, and is always a sellout! You have to buy a ticket for this one, but they are super cheap and students can buy two guest tickets too.
All the most up-to-date info will be on our Facebook and Twitter… we regularly post content about uni life and what’s on, so give us a follow, say hello and keep in touch!
Use the hashtag #londonmetfreshers when posting to get featured and maybe win prizes!
See you in September!

We have some great events and activities in store for you this year in and around campus, with all the info to be released soon…
There will be club nights, cocktails, cake, bingo, BBQs, beer, lights, llamas (seriously) and laughs!
GET YER WRISTBANDS
Make sure to get your LMU Freshers Wristband as soon as you get to uni so you can get to all 2 weeks of the events for free. It’s completely free for all first year LMU students.
We will have our Freshers events team out around uni that you can pick them up from. Otherwise you can get one from The Rocket Complex, and we will also be hanging around all the enrolment sessions giving out lots of info too!
DISCOUNTS
And don’t forget to pick up a ‘Metcard’ when you get to uni, available from The Rocket Complex at the bar. It’s completely free and gives you great discounts around campus, especially on food, drink, merch and event entry! Our top tip is to use it in The Rocket where you can get the cheapest and best breakfast, brunch and lunch – Mon to Fri and the best coffee on campus.
FRESHERS FAIR
Freshers Fair is held on Tuesday 30th September in Aldgate Hub and Thursday 2nd October at Holloway Hub. Everything from info on all the great societies and sports teams you can join, more free stuff than you can carry, DJs AND free pizza… we strongly recommend you don’t miss this event!

Not only that, but it’s a huge party with something for everyone, and always sells out, so make sure to get your tickets nice and early. Find out more soon on our FB page.
