Freshers Week？ What is it？

新生周？什么是新生周？

Freshers Week is the term that UK universities and colleges give to the period immediately before the beginning of a new academic year.

Its purpose is to give new students a chance to meet their housemates， make new friends and sort out administration tasks such as opening student bank accounts. Freshers week is usually based around a series of social events such as discos， live bands， parties…and a Freshers Week Ball.

As well as providing a chance to learn about the university， Freshers Week allows students to become familiar with the representatives of their Student Union and to get to know the city or town which is home to the university， often through some form of pub crawl.

新生周是指英國的大學和學院開學前的第一個星期。

新生周給新生機會去認識室友，交新朋友，完成諸如開銀行賬戶之類的一些行政相關(guān)事宜。新生周內(nèi)通常會舉辦一系列的社交活動，比如舞廳舞會、樂隊現(xiàn)場演奏、聚會等，還有專門的“新生周舞會”。

新生周也為學生提供一個了解自己的大學和學生會代表的機會，借此機會他們也會通過泡吧等方式對自己大學所在的城市了解更多。
