A few people have been asking if they will be able A few people have been asking if they will be able to attend Freshers' Week if they are under 18 🤔 Different events at Freshers' Week are run by different organisations, so there are different rules for each. For Glasgow University Students' Representative Council (GUSRC) and Glasgow University Sports Association - GUSA - your age doesn't matter as none of their events involve entering licensed premises (a bar). Queen Margaret Union - QMU and Glasgow University Union (GUU)'s buildings contain bars, so for their physical events there are some restrictions. GUU's Policy: * Under 18s are allowed in the GUU and allowed entry into the GUU until 10PM.
 * After this time they cannot be admitted. 
 * Under 18s are not allowed to buy alcohol in the GUU at any time.
 * After 10PM under 18s should not be in the building.
 * If you're unsure about what these rules mean for you and want to find out how you can still enjoy GUU events, get in touch with GUU directly – www.guu.co.uk
 
 QMU's Policy: Under 18s are permitted entry to the QMU for the whole night as we close at 12AM. Under 18s are not permitted to buy alcohol, and QMU will be stamping/wristbanding those Freshers that are over 18 so that we don't serve anyone who is underage. For further information about the policies of the Unions please contact them directly!
