Hi everyone, The UNSW O-Week forums are up and running again. Similar to BOS, it facilitates communication between current and future students. Ask our Yellow Shirt volunteers about UNSW, what it has to offer, campus life, advice, travel... you name it. For more information about what O-Week...

Guys/Girls, I've been reading through this thread and I could post back a lot of replies on what has been said here but I'll just try to keep it short in quick I may have said this before... this sorta extends off RooRaa If you are worried about being lonely in o-week I recommend you to join a...

That's correct. But to join a society for the whole year, it isn't too much. At most, realistically, about $20 to join societies for the entire year.... again this varies from club to club. As a general assumption club/societies such as faculty/school based societies mainly don't charge...

Hi all, Come around to o-week to see pretty much every single society out in force looking for people to join them. They will be setup on the main walkway in stalls, so you can take a pic and join. I suggest a sports one if you want to do some exercise, as if you join a society you will be...

You'd also be glad to know that there will be (hopefully, but the negotiations are in place) a 'free' Microsoft XBOX 360 LAN gaming room, Upper Campus. *shhh its a secret guys :) :)* Nothings confirmed, but yes I can say that I'm definitely gunning for that. But in terms of other lan things...

Hi, First of all, glad to see so much interest into O-week. I really do recommend for anyone who are enrolled into UNSW for their first year in 2006, to attend O-week, as there is PLENTY of stuff to do. And for those who are worried, you'll NEVER be lonely at O-week! Don't worry, we've got ya...

Read the Blitz, and you'll see an advert in there looking for yellow shirt applicants, normally around september-ish. You'll need to submit a written form, pass a group interview, and then they'll call ya if you make it. As for the Shirts remark, there's only 140 or so Yellow Shirts, and I can...

Ah I see what you mean... Beverly Hills down here aint that glamorous.. They do have palm trees in the middle of the roads though, but apart from that its nothing like the one in CA

hehe.. I'm a yellow shirt, I should be floating around somewhere... I'll be there for the whole week from like... 8am to late at night. So just try to spot sorta mixed looking asian male with a bright yellow shirt and that's me All of us shirters will be giving out campus tours, but only I have...

Yup! come one come all to O-Week! The Sports stalls are normally lined up on the main walkway closest near the Sam-Cracknell pavillion (Hope I spelt that right) ... which is our cricket oval on campus. But their position may have changed... but in general all sports stalls stick together at...

Hi guys, From previous years, the Commerce camp is not compulsary - its completely voluntary. Lasts normally over a weekend, starting from friday ends on sunday. Expect it to cost you back around a hundred or so dollars. What I noticed from the camps was that the students of each year stuck...

Yep! Free! Apart from the transportation costs, it will cost nothing to experience most things, except maybe if you want to join a society or club. Some clubs/societies are free (I believe Commerce was) but some need a membership fee... at most I'd say 10 to 15 bucks for membership for the...

Good point - stir a little commotion :)

I'm thinking anytime between Jan the 16th and O-Week. Personally I find its better to get it quickly and go - as supposed to lining up for yonks, mind you I have met quite a few interesting people in the line. Even the guy who gave me my first card lived in near me and had a girlfriend which...

Haha. Sure mate go for it - I'll try to do my best and include as many random fact as possible... like campus myths and stuff. Oh and thanks for the sticky :) Nice indeed. - did you do that yourself, ever so true!

Hi all! Just as a general announcement for those that don't know, just before UNSW starts, there is a week of heaps of cool stuff to do. For those wondering what to expect in terms of the social aspect of university life at UNSW, particularly first years or those just starting out at UNSW, I...
