The Cardiff student weekly, gair rhydd, has a story about an English university stopping freshers’ week:
Bradford University has axed the traditional freshers’ week, the gair rhydd has learned.
The move comes after university bosses claim that the week had become “nothing more than a wild drinking binge”.
The University bosses continued to say that campus tours and sports club introductions have “all but given way to pub crawls and nightclub drinks promotions”.
The story goes on to point to a number of other English universities that have taken similar measures.
Mentor UK (a Drug Education Forum member) will shortly be publishing a literature review of drug prevention and education in further and higher education, which I’ll highlight when it is available.
