first year students - recommendations (1 Viewer)

[iambored]

there has been talk of 'a lot of first years..' so what do first years do that is unnecessary? what can you tell us to get us away from the normal image of firstyears? e.g. dress casually, don't bring too many folders and books

Just relax... and enjoy your time. Dress however you want. Textbooks are heavy and optional. Folders? Notes? Doesn't really matter.

yeah, don't worry about how you look or anything like that.

Go to as many lectures as possible on many a subject(within reason) as possible to get a feel for what you like before the cut off for enrolment variation. Some subjects that the brochures proclaimed as musts can turn out deadly uninteresting.
Any film or drama unit will be full of imbeciles-trust me!

oh and try to know your way around campus. theres nothing worse than being lost and trying to find your way and looking at those on campus maps. people can tell your first year. hahaha

No ones gonna laugh at you if you bring a folder or anything like that. It's not like school where it seems the only reason some people show up is to try to seem cool-everyone is there to work, so no one gives a rats arse about you, your clothes, or what you're carrying around. And no ones gonna care if you are seen looking at a map, or have to ask someone for directions. People understand you weren't born knowing where S027 is.

Definately. Only a small percentage of people seem to care what others are doing, and unlike high school-it is these people that are most likely to get bagged out by everyone else, for being snobby.

how do people know you're first year anyway..?? it's not as if you were a big sign around campus with said label..

Why does everyone want to hide the fact that they're 1st year? Who cares? Everyone has been 1st year at some stage...

people who do combined degrees have to be like first year students twice as we gotta do junior units.

It's easier to pick up anyone in Uni

1st years with 4th years and what not right? Lol...

It's so hard to get a Uni girl when you're in High School and with good cause!

I can't wait till Uni, older women here I come

I dont get to do any junior units - as the first years of my 2 degrees are identical...im not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing though
