5 Reasons to Throw a Silent Disco for University Welcome Week

A Silent Disco is the perfect icebreaker for a University Orientation Week. When everyone is wearing headphones, it’s easy to start up a conversation with the person next to you. You can share your favorite songs with each other, or just chat about what you’re up to. It’s a great way to make new friends and connect with people in a fun and unique way.

There are a number of reasons why universities should consider having a silent disco for welcome week. 

Here’s why we think they’re great:

1. It’s a fun way to welcome new students!

A silent disco is a great way to welcome new students to your university. It’s a fun and unique experience that they won’t forget and will help to make them feel welcome and part of the community. If you’re going to dance silently to a bunch of tunes, it’s safe to say you’re going to bond with a few people over the encounter! Throw some glow sticks and sunglasses in the mix and students are bound to meet their next new best friend at the silent disco.

Silent discos are also a great way to get people out of their shell. Since everyone is wearing headphones, it is easy to start conversations with strangers without feeling self-conscious

2. Make the welcome week memorable!

Start the new academic year off by creating a memorable experience that students will be talking about for the rest of the semester. 

There’s something inherently special and memorable about silent discos. Maybe it’s the uniqueness of the experience. Or the way they bring people together in a new and fun way. Whatever it is, silent discos have a way of leaving a lasting impression.

3. It’s a great way to promote social and networking opportunities.

A silent disco is a great way to promote social and networking opportunities among students. It allows them to meet new people and make new friends. It also provides the perfect opportunity to network in the wider university community.

4. Get acquainted with college life.

If you’re looking for the perfect icebreaker activity, you’ve found it. Throw a silent disco party the last night of orientation to give incoming students a taste of college and you’re bound to get them excited. It’s easy, fun, and will definitely loosen everyone up. Once the mood is lightened, students are more apt to make new friends in the midst of goofy dance moves.

5. It’s easy.

After a long week of getting acquainted with college life, there really is no better way to unwind than a simple and fun activity! All you need to do is rent a bunch of headphones and a transmitter, round up the students, and hire a DJ or use a Spotify playlist. Literally, that’s it.
