Freshers Week

What is Freshers Week?
Freshers Week Magazine - Fridge
For those of you who dont know, Freshers is the term given to new, rst year
students. Freshers Week is unlike any other university experience and is one of
students most memorable times at university. Freshers Week is held at the start of
the academic year, from the 1st to the 9th of September 2012. With no academic
commitments, Freshers enjoy nine days of events designed to introduce students to:
each other, the University and the city of Dundee. The popularity of Freshers Weeks
night-time entertainment at The Union, featuring big name bands and DJs means
the majority of senior students return to take part in the festivities. As such The Union
becomes the focal point for Dundees student population.
Fridge is the ofcial and only guide to Freshers Week events at Dundee University,
3000 copies of this full colour magazine are sent to the homes of all new students, two
weeks prior to Freshers Week. As their in-depth programme to Freshers Week events,
students retain Fridge, not only for the duration of Freshers Week, but usually as a
memento of what is their rst and most exciting taste of student life at Dundee.
By advertising in Fridge you can raise awareness of your business before students
have even started at University. If you prefer, DUSA can insert your yer with Fridge.
(Single sheets up to A5 will be accepted.) DUSA offers a full graphic design and print
service and we can undertake all stages of publicity production on your behalf.
