Student Life at Trinity Your First Year at Trinity Freshers’ Week What happens after you join us in Trinity? Your first week is known as Freshers’ Week. There are no classes, so it’s all about meeting your new classmates, information sessions, seeing what sports clubs and societies you want to join, meeting your student mentor who will give you a tour of campus and organise social events, meeting your tutor who will provide support to you throughout your years in Trinity, and, of course, the Freshers’ Ball.

Most classes are a mixture of lectures and tutorials and some have practicals as well. The tutorials are less formal and give you a chance to explore and discuss the topics covered in lectures with your classmates and teaching assistants. Your class representative and your mentors organise events throughout the year that give you further opportunities to get to know your classmates. Trinity in Twelve Weeks The “Trinity in Twelve Weeks” programme aims to continue your orientation during your first semester and help your transition to university life. The “Trinity in Twelve Weeks” programme has a new theme every week, through study and exam skills to how to look after yourself while you’re at university. Your mentors will be in touch with you every week to let you know what the week’s theme is and to arrange events and activities. 8 Trinity College Dublin, The University of Dublin
