The first week of every Autumn term, when new students are introduced to university life.
In YSTV terms one of the busiest weeks of the year, as it involves trying to persuade as many Freshers as possible to sign up to be members. A variety of initiatives have been used over the years to persuade people to get involved.
- 1996 - The Saturday Show was part of the push for new members.
- 2000 - Inspired by appearing on The Big Breakfast, YSTV screened YSTV-am every day of the week in an attempt to get new people involved.
- 2001 - This Afternoon was this year's special programme, also shown every day.
- 2002 - The bulk of this year's push was centred around providing very visible coverage of Access All Areas, the annuals Freshers' Talks for the first time and of course Freshers' Fair, which this year involved showing off NaffoCue.
- 2003 - A low point in membership so more of a crucial week than ever. The week kicked off with the usual Freshers' Talks, and there were also a special first-night broadcast of Off The Cuff to attract attention in the crammed bars. Finally Freshers' Fair saw the new chroma key system being demonstrated with some highlights bring projected. The network screened a mixture of highlight compilations and full shows. A plan to simulcast a daily URY show from Vanbrugh Bar however fell through.
- 2004 - Once again the Freshers' Talks were filmed, and Freshers' Fair saw a fancy plasma screen being used to display highlights. The Sunday afternoon welcome meeting also for the first time included a "Golden Bodge" for people to try.
