Most Popular Responses:
Snacks – such as cookies/biscuits/PotNoodles; for when you run out
Leaflets – for the majority of Student events and nights out, helping you stay entertained and social
Coupons and vouchers – including local restaurants and stores, student deals you SHOULD take advantage of
Stationary – because there’s no such thing as too many pens when you’re at university
Condoms – better to be safe than sorry
Bottle openers – because there’s always that one person who forgets to bring one
Fridge magnets – cute and pointless but can be useful when it comes to organising papers
Mugs – a great memento to commemorate your university days, and multi-purpose (pencil pot, hairband container, drinks container etc)
Tshirts – because at university you will LIVE in sweats
Posters – a great way to decorate your new room to make it feel homely
Keyrings – easy advertising for the brands, and helps you to ensure you don’t misplace your keys
Shotglasses – for the ultimate flat party and pre-drinks games
There’s no guarantee what will await you at the next Fresher’s Fair, but it is a guarantee that you will receive a tonne of interesting freebies – don’t turn them down!
