SOAS Students' Union
We run your societies and sports clubs, the bar, the shop and the coffee pod, and an advice service that is free and independent of the university. If you're new in September, start with Freshers.
Welcome Week is 21–27 September
What's on each day, where to eat cheaply, how to get here, and who to ask when you're stuck.

Freshers Fayre is Friday 25 September. Every society and sports club in one room. There's a quieter access hour at 11am, before the main doors open.
Before you arrive
Three things worth doing now, while it's quiet.
Housing
Sort somewhere to live
Contracts, deposits, landlords. Get someone to read your contract before you sign it.
Societies
Find your society
Over a hundred of them, and you can join before term starts.
