KING'S FROSH WEEK

Over the course of Frosh Week you will realize that King’s is a different type of school and the KSU is a different type of students’ union. Unlike almost every other Frosh Week in the country your Frosh Week is 100% student organized, controlled and funded. The KSU exec, union’s staff and the brave and sleep deprived Frosh Week Coordinators- all elected by KSU members- have gone through orientation week as students and want you to have even more fun than they did.  

 

It’s not just Frosh Week: The Wardroom - your campus pub - is staffed, operated and controlled by the union. In 2012 the KSU opened the sliding doors to The Galley, a student staffed and KSU operated coffee shop with an emphasis on locally and ethically sourced food and drinks. Half a decade before that the KSU provided funding to create the King’s Co-Op bookstore – one of the only cooperatively owned, student run campus bookstores in the world. 

 

We support and fund one of the largest theatre companies in Atlantic Canada – the Kings Theatrical Society – which doesn’t just feature student actors but is produced and directed by students as well. Other KSU societies include the country’s oldest university debate and literary societies and clubs dedicated to interests ranging from contemporary philosophy, providing fine arts programming in public schools, or getting people together to go on hikes. A full list of societies and services can be found on the union’s website or swing by our office, and if you don’t find one you like then we can help you start your own!
