 Sunday 19th - ​Meet the Freshers

Saturday 18th is moving in day, where you'll get settled into your accommodation and meet the rest of your year. The LUSUMA committee will also be around to help answer any queries. Later in the evening ,you'll also get a chance to meet us, your LUSUMA committee for the upcoming year and ask any questions you may have. Its also a great opportunity to meet other freshers! 
On Sunday 19th, starting in the morning and spanning to the afternoon, there will be a mini-freshers fair to explore medic societies and sports in the village hub if you live in Oadby. You can also collect your Introweek passes here (for city living, go to the Students' Union). In the afternoon we will also be hosting Sunday-Funday in Oadby! This afternoon will include out door games, a bouncy castle and getting a chance to mix and mingle with your new year as well as current Leicester med students from across the years. In the evening there will also be another opportunity to meet some more of your new year group as we take you to The Loaded Dog.

Monday 20th - "Meet the Medic Parents"

Settling to uni life can be a real shock to your system and a steep learning curve. To help you through this process, we've assigned you two medic parents. These are two second year medical students who can act as mentors and show you the ropes. Whether its advice, help settling in or just to socialise, your medic parents will be on hand to help you through your journey at med school through the next 5 years. Other first year students will share these parents, "medic siblings" if you will, giving a chance to meet new people as reassuring you, you aren't alone in this new chapter of your life.

There will challenges for you to complete as a "medic family", with prizes going to the winning families so get your game faces on!

Tuesday 21st - PJ Pub and Grub Crawl

Regarded as one of the best nights of the year, the PJ Pub Crawl (as the name suggests) sees you freshers jumping into your pyjamas and taking to the high streets of Leicester for some drinks and grub. The older years will be present in a variety of themed costumes to help warmly welcome you to Leicester.  The Pub and Grub Crawl are two separate routes that run parallel to each other, allowing drinkers and non-drinkers to experience the culture of Leicester without alienating anybody.

Spoilt for choice with what sports team to join, now is your time to choose whatever takes your fancy and get involved with them. If you’re just a fanatic watching instead of playing, it’s a perfect chance to get your favourite top or kit on.
