LIbrary Wobble Week
Monday 2 - Friday 6 November
Starting university can be exciting and fun, but can also be a bit overwhelming.
If you’re feeling a bit unsure after the excitement of Welcome and Freshers, or finding your second or third year a different experience from previous years, that’s ok.
Everyone can experience times of uncertainty - “a wobble” and we’re here to help.
What is Wobble Week?
Wobble Week runs from Monday 2 November to Friday 6 November and is a week of activites to welcome and support students who may be feeling overwhelmed by university.
Wobble Week is here to help foster a sense of community amongst all Leeds Beckett students. Throughout the week we are planning a mixture of events, tours, drop-ins and other activities to help you feel you belong here.
It’s a chance to pause and take some timeout to reset, to try something new, meet other students, find out about support on offer, or just take some timeout for yourself.
Have a look at the timetable below to see what's happening during the week.
