Freshers 2014: A Round-Up Of The Worst, Cringiest Events Coming To A University Near You

Now that Freshers 2014 is nearly upon us, it's time to cut through all of the excitement and anticipation with some good old fashion British cynicism.

The Student Union teams really have their hands full trying to fill the calendar with events, balancing useful trips to register for the doctors with foam parties and, well, parties. With limited budgets they can only do so much and eventually terrible events will start making their way into the mix.

Universities, don't take it to heart, none of you are perfect. This is a celebration of the worst freshers' events of 2014.

Some of the Worst of Freshers 2014

There are so many Inception-like layers to why this is a terrible Freshers 2014 event. a) It's a school uniform party.b) There is an appearance from a Made in Chelsea 'star'.c) There's another one from Made in Chelsea.d) The choice head shots of the MiC boys are terrifying. e) The context of the head shots merged with the theme of school uniforms is just unbelievably creepy. Insheeption. (credit:eusa)

Why do student unions keep throwing these? Are they worried the freshers need to ease into the university experience? Whatever.Oh, look! It's Tina and Bradley S Club. No, no one knows their last names, not even their mothers. But they're here and they are armed with rulers and pencils to hand out instead of glow sticks. (credit:University of Stirling)

Sorry, University of Stirling. We're not picking on you. We just forgot that Basshunter was a thing, no less a man in fact. But the artwork for this poster confirms our suspicions. Basshunter has actually been away for the last few years...in SPACE. Not long after leaving the CBB house, he was abducted by aliens. On the spaceship, the aliens asked him how he managed to convince millions of people that his one terrible song was in fact many different songs, then make them buy it, all without super-alien brain strength.

What? This isn't a fresher event for a Liverpool University. Somewhere close, surely? Actually, no. This is a fresher event for Aston University, Birmingham. Way to big up your city, guys. (credit:Aston University)
The Hand of the King(05 of08)

This one isn't so bad so much as the artwork is hilarious. Who knew these guys could make such a formidable team? 'The Closing Party' could be the name of their gritty good-cop bad-cop drama on ITV. Zane is the recently widowed ex-cop who Hodor drags back to the force when new evidence means their old arch nemesis, Louis Walsh, is released from prison. This simply has to be made now, sorry.

Again, this is mostly artwork related hilarity and also the choice of name. A Family Fortune team, maybe?HELLO, THE SABBS!Nonetheless, free coffee. Nice. (credit:Canterbury Christ Church University)

I never knew you could build an entire event around six lines and a dot on your face. Bravo, UWE. (credit:Bristol UWE)
