Here are all the Bournemouth Freshers’ events you need to know about

We did the research so you don’t have to

| UPDATED

Starting university can be overwhelming, constant promoters annoying you to come to their nights, hangovers and your flatmate has still not done their washing up!

Luckily, we've compiled a list of the best events for you to get messy at for Freshers' fortnight. So you basically have no excuse to stay in for the next two weeks.

Oh and by the way, say hello to being a zombie in every lecture you manage to drag yourself along to. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Home Slice Free Pizza Welcome Party | Tuesday 18th September | £4

Twenty slices please

Let's be honest, when are you going to say no to free food, especially when it comes to pizza? Also, they're going to have three rooms open, so whether you're into pop, indie or alternative rock, there's a place for you.

Cameo – The Freshers Zoo Party | Tuesday 18th September | £6

Featuring Chris Lorenzo, if you love getting pissed in a converted church then you cannot miss this night!

Cameo – Guilty! | Wednesday 19th September | £5
