Coming to a campus – and a new city – can be daunting but you’ll be getting around Abercromby Square all the way to the Quad in no time.

To help you get around you can download a campus map from the UoL App but if you want a little extra help getting your bearings then attend one of our campus, Guild or city tours in Welcome Week.

Coming to University is exciting and there are lots of new people to meet.

To help settle you in and meet like-minded people, we have a full programme of activity during Welcome Week and beyond including pre arrival events, official welcome events, Give it a Go programme which is packed full of activities and trips, the weekly pub quiz and live sport events which offer a little something for everyone.

Keep up to date with everything happening in Welcome Week and join our Welcome mailing list.

Societies are also a great way to meet like-minded people. - and its completely free. You can meet and join over 190 societies at the Society Fair in Welcome Week or you can view the full list below.

Get ready and start meeting people before you event arrive by joining the official UoL Unibuddy
