Thousands of Students Attend Successful Glyndwr Freshers Fair

Thousands of students have celebrated their first week at Glyndwr University this week with a host of successful fresher events.

Launching at the start of last week, thousands of students have come together to celebrate their first year at Glyndwr University with a variety of events – with one of the more popular events being the annual freshers fair!

The popular event was one of several taking place across the week to welcome this year’s batch of Glyndwr University freshers. Other fresher events held this week have included a fun fair, foam party, offers at Eagles Meadow and the Aqueduct, karaoke and a treasure hunt.

Taking place in the Glyndwr Sports Centre the Freshers Fair has become one of the key events for students arriving at university / new town for the first time. The event has also become one of the more popular freshers events, with students seen queuing around the building prior to event in the hope of picking up some freebies and finding out more about the local area.

Along with a range of Glyndwr societies for students to sign up with, a number of local businesses such as the Co-op, Boots, The Oriel Wrecsam, The Crusaders, Liquid, Nandos and Dominoes were all in attendance offering goodies and information to the students.

Some of the more popular events included the ‘Spin the Nandos’ wheel, which gave students the chance to win a free meal at the restaurant

While the exact number of new students at Glyndwr has not yet been confirmed, we have been told that numbers of freshers enrolling at the university is up 10% on last year’s figures.

A Glyndwr University spokesperson said: “There has been a real buzz on campus this week as new students arrive and others return. The Students’ Guild has organised some great events and there are more to come in the days ahead.”
