This year’s Freshers’ Festival is set to be the biggest and best event of our student calendar! With exhibitors from all across Scotland showcasing the crème de la crème of the country’s club and music scenes, eateries, accommodation, entertainment, and employment and volunteering prospects, this vibrant and bustling event is bound to have you filling your pockets with goodies and your minds with unforgettable memories!

As well as scouring the country for top-notch exhibitors to provide freebies and prizes, we’ve searched high and low for the greatest possible ways for you to record your time at this brilliant event. Since most of us are fans of sharing our memories and experiences with friends and family through social media channels or chat services, we have teamed up with the lovely folks at the yada app, to help you make the best of your Freshers’ Festival experience.

The yada app allows you to create and curate photos, videos, and comments that can be viewed by other people attending the festival, so that you can swap and share media and memories, and interact with potential new pals. As well as giving you access to these memory nuggets any time before, during and after the event, you can interact with exhibitors and other students and have the chance to win prizes and grab giveaways simply by posting your event highlights and media through the app.

To make sure you’re psyched and ready on the day to get your teeth into the Freshers’ Festival celebrations (and free pizza, of course) all you need to do is download the yada app, which is completely free and available to download through all Apple and Android devices. Just head to the Apple Store or Google Play Store and search for ‘yada events’ and then you can sign up either by using your Facebook details or email address. Increase your chances of winning goodies and awesome prizes by getting your friends to sign up too, and combine your content to create a reel of fond memories and hilarious selfies.

Once you’ve signed up, you can find the event you’re looking for by clicking on the ‘What’s Happening’ section and searching for ‘Freshers’ Festival’. Once you’ve found the event, click on the attending tab and say yes! You can then get busy uploading photos and videos and commenting on the content of other fellow festivalgoers.
