Hello! 過了一個禮拜我又上來繼續跟大家分享我在Surrey的生活啦～好難相信這週已經是第8週了！時間過得真快，而這個禮拜我要向大家介紹的是Fresher’s Week – 迎新週 😉
Hey it’s me again! How was everyone doing? It’s already week 8 and almost to the end of the semester which is so unbelievable. And in my second introduction of Surrey, I’m gonna talk about the excited fresher’s week 😉
在新生週的一開始，學校在校內安排了各種不同的演講，內容包含了學院、圖書館、學生宿舍等等。大學的基本運作方式、教室和校園還有各種軟硬體設備的資訊都會在迎新週的演講裡面介紹，可以說是了解學校的第一步。當然，系上的同學或是住在同一個宿舍區的人們也可以透過新生週認識，所以新生週不是只有聽制式的演講而已，還可以趁機擴展你的社交圈喔！ˊ
Welcome talks @ Austin Pearce lecture room
At the beginning of the fresher’s week, there are lots of talkings has been held all over the campus, including your department talk, accommodation talk, library talk etc. These talks are basically to get you an idea of how the university works in terms of facilities, the campus and lecture room, electronic access and the benefits we can get as a student in Surrey. Attending to the talks is not only about to obtaining essential details of university but there is another opportunity to make new friend, either from your course or the same accommodation area.
說到新生周就不能不提到“精采”的夜生活了，在學期開始前我已經在網路上看到各種不同的club開始販賣新生週入場票了，而且是每 一 天 都 有！！！ 和新朋友一起去club喝個小酒跳跳舞是一個蠻好接近彼此的方式，當然本身也要注意不要過量，不然醉倒在新朋友面前也是很尷尬XDDD Surrey校內本身就有一個學生會兼夜店的地方叫做Rubix，所以想要一個和朋友放鬆的夜晚，不必在大冷天跑到鎮上，在學校就有很熱鬧的club囉。不只是這樣，每個禮拜四Rubix都會有蔬果市集、魚販跟甜點熟食攤飯，想要新鮮的蔬菜果果都可以直接在校內買到喔，真的是很方便。
Night out during fresher’s week!
When it comes to the Freshers’ week, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely the night life! I have already seen a lot of clubs are selling tickets before the freshers’ week started, and there are events coming up EVERYDAY! Which is a pretty good way to get to know your new friends with some alcohol and music, however remember do not exceed your drinking limit, you would not want to get drunk in front of your new friends lol. There’s a place on campus called ‘Rubix’, it’s the student union during the day but it is also a club at the night, which is really convenient for students that can just chill with their friends right away instead if going into town. Fun facts about Rubix is there are fruit and vegetable market every Thursday that the students can just get some fresh fruit and vegetable straight away without traveling, what can’t Rubix do?
新生週大家最期待也是最盛大要的活動就是社團博覽會了！Surrey有超過100個不同的社團像是各種運動、舞蹈甚至是權力的遊戲社團。每個在Surrey的學生一定可以找到自己喜歡的社團，在讀書之餘還有各種活動可以參加，永遠不用怕無聊！如果你對某個活動或社團有興趣，但是是第一次所以不太確定的話，很多社團都有免費開放體驗課程，讓你可以更加深入了解，說不定可以啟發你不知道的內在潛能哦～國際學生們也可以透過社團找到來自同一個國家的人，讓Surrey成為國際學生們的第二個家:) 除了學生創辦的社團在社團博覽會展覽之外，也有很多不同的廠商來到學校做宣傳，我跟朋友那天都拿到了免費的Pizza兌換券，真的是有得吃又有得玩，完美的結束新生週！

The busy busy fresher’s fair
The most popular and important events, the highlight of Freshers’ week – the Freshers’ fair! At Surrey, there are over 100 society that you can join, including sports, dance or even a Games of Thrones club! Everyone in Surrey can definitely find out their favorite society and get involved with different events apart from studies. If you want to try something that you are interested but for the first time, societies open up several tester session for free. Therefore, you can always give it a try with something new to discover your new habits or the hidden talents that you never know! Also for the international students, several society run by students from different countries can help them to find people from their hometown, and make Surrey like the second home! Apart from the society, there are also a lot of companies come in to the Freshers’ fair to do promotion, me and my friends even get a free pizza voucher! What a perfect ending for the fresher’ week:)
