They are encouraged to drink as much as possible and carry out various forfeits.
The tradition dates back to the early days of the university, where Prince William was once a student.
New students would give senior students - known as 'guardians' - a pound of raisins in gratitude for their help in adapting to university life, in exchange for a receipt written in Latin.
Failure to produce such a receipt could result in a dousing in the local fountain.
Nowadays, the raisins have been replaced with a bottle of wine and the dousing with foam.
In a break with tradition, the new students sometimes present a gift to older students in exchange for the receipt.
Guardians have been known to present large items such as canoes, brass beds and once a bath tub as receipts in return.
