Mature Student Meet-Up: Caffeine & Common Ground (13/09/2026, 12:00)

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 14:39:09 +0100

Starting university (or returning after some time away) can feel exciting, but also a little isolating, especially when most faces around campus seem fresh out of school. This event is designed to help mature students find their crowd right from the start.

Our Connection Tables will make breaking the ice easy: choose a table that matches your interests such as Travel, Career Change, Family Life, Hobbies, or Study Goals, and chat with others who share your experiences. Every 10–15 minutes, you’ll rotate to a new table, meeting a variety of people and building your campus network.
Grab a drink from our Coffee & Tea Bar complete with non-dairy milk options and enjoy bite-sized treats while you mingle. Vegan and gluten-free options will be available.
Meet members from the Mature Students Association and hear about how to join their society and stay in touch about upcoming events!
Open to any University of Glasgow student over the age of 21 at registration.

Attending on your own? No problem. Our friendly SRC Welcome Helpers in blue t-shirts will be there to greet you, help you settle in and make it easier to meet other students.

Jet Lag Society - Freshers Week Hide & Seek: Friday Morning (18/09/2026, 14:00)

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 12:01:10 +0100

Join the GU Jet Lag Society in our first game of the year. We'll introduce the rules from the official Jet Lag: The Home Game - Hide & Seek. Based off the popular children's game, this version takes it to a whole new level, as you hide in various locations across the West End of Glasgow. The rules are easy to pick up, and you'll be joined by experienced members of our society, who will guide you through the process of the game.

The game will be completely free to play and open to all students at the University of Glasgow (new and old). Now is the time to try playing one of our games, especially if you've ever been worried about concerns like the time commitment or cost of public transport. This is also a great way to meet new people at the University, while you explore its campus and the surrounding area.

There is an identical event happening on Thursday morning if that is more convenient. Full details are here.

Event Details

Date: 18/09/26 (see alternative Thursday morning date here)
Time: 14:00
Location: Outside the Wolfson Medical School (///chair.nets.worked)

Tickets

This is event is free to all and no ticket is required. We will meet at the advertised time and location, however if you turn up late please contact us and we can fit you into a game (email us, message our instagram, or join our discord).

How do you play the game?

Each team will have an experienced member from the society to fully explain the rules to you.

But in brief, the game works with two teams. One team has a head start to find a street to hide on. Once released, the other teams (the seekers) can ask certain questions to narrow down the first team's hiding spot such as "Are you within 1km of us", "Is your nearest Library the same as ours?" or "Send a photo of the tallest building on your street".

Each time a question is asked, the hiding team can draw a card. The cards include time bonuses (e.g +5 minutes), action cards (e.g duplicate a card), and curse cards. Each curse card has a challenge which the hiders can make the seeking team complete (E.g the seekers can only turn right at any junction). Using these cards, the hiders can strategically slow down the seekers and increase their hiding time.

Eventually the hiders will be found, at which point the teams swap roles and play again. The team with the longest hiding time wins.

Logistics

Games will begin shortly after everyone assembles at 14:00 on Friday morning. Please meet outside the Wolfson Medical School. You will be in teams of 3 - 5 persons, and will play another team in a game. You are welcome to form teams/games around any friends you are with. Games last between 40 and 90 minutes. You are welcome to drop out afterwards and return if you wish.

Accessibility

We strive to make all our games accessible to anyone who wishes to play. Please contact us with details of your accessibility or capability requirements, and we can make sure that your needs are catered too (email us, message our instagram, or join our discord).

Hide & Seek entails a lot of standing around or walking for extended periods of time. The game is out in the environment, therefore we are unable to guarantee access to seating, toilets etc. Nonetheless adjustments can be made to games to make it easier for you such as mandated game breaks or enforcing a no-running rule.

FAQ

What is Jet Lag: The Game? Jet Lag: The Game is an online TV show that plays this style of game on a country (or even larger) scale! Think Hide & Seek across the UK, or Tag across Europe. If you've never heard of or watched the show, do not worry! The Jet Lag Society is open to everyone who wants to play our games.

Do I need to be a student of the University of Glasgow? The GU Jet Lag Society is always open to members from outside the University, and such members are very welcome to participate in our many games throughout the semester. However this particular event is geared towards students at the University of Glasgow, as it features during the University's Welcome Week.

Can I bring friends? Of course! You can choose to be in the same team, or opposing. There is also no pressure to turn up with anyone else. There will be teams to assign you in no matter what. Please note that large groups may not be able to fit in the same team and may have to be split up.

What should I bring? We strongly recommend you bring a bottle of water and some snack. Please also pack for Scottish weather. It may be lovely September weather, but we cannot guarantee that. Finally a battery pack is also recommended, although not a necessity.

Do I need to be there for the whole event? Not at all. Games last between 40 and 90 minutes, after which you're free to go or to play again.

How will teams communicate? All game communication happens through our Discord. You’re welcome to join it, but this is not required as the experienced member of your team will handle all the communication.

How can I contact you? If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. You can find us at the SRC Clubs & Socs Fair (timings TBC), or you can email us at jetlag@src.gla.ac.uk. You can also message us on instagram @gujetlag, or join our Discord server here.
