Halal freshers’ crawl? Count us in!

Arriving at university, fresh faced and optimistic, most of us hope to make friends for life, have a great time with a little bit more freedom (whether you move out from home or not), take part in exciting activities with like-minded people, oh…and hopefully get a degree at the end of it!

Before the serious academic stuff begins, every university across the country kicks off with Fresher’s Week – a wild jamboree of events, club nights, fairs and lots of fun. You’ll get the opportunity to join societies that fit your passions perfectly!

We all have our own ideas about what some Fresher’s week activities can be like, and for Muslims, it can be daunting to think of all the club nights and antics that go with that.

Fear not – at Ummahsonic, we’ve got your back! We’ve lined up the best alcohol free hangouts from around the country where you can eat till your heart’s content and chill (or go crazy!) with your new friends. Fun, and halal!
