What do you do at O-week?

Anyone else feel keen/scared to start Uni?
(I definitely am ... since my friends aren't going to the same uni as me and I got to start making new friends, but excited for the journey ahead)

I'm a bit nervous because I don't know many people either, just hope I meet really nice people :) What course are you doing next year?

Ask things. Find out how things work, what services are available on campus etc =)

I remember o week few years ago when i started uni, it was a prettt daunting experience for me and i also had no friends but it is alright for the first 1 or 2 days. You can get some free stuff, some information about subjects/services or get to know the uni better know where your classes are etc

Hey I'm starting this year too :) I'm actually moving interstate so I will like know 2 people at first, which is gonna be a bit intimidating since there are like 50k students at UNSW....

I've heard that certain residential colleges hold water fights during O-Week so that's gonna be very interesting!

I'm doing a double of Commerce/Arts! :) Criminology sounds so interesting, is it researching criminal behaviour and stuff?

O-week sounds like a lot of fun, I'm still 17 though so I wont be able to go to half the night events which sucks so bad. Does anyone know if older students get involved in o-week as well or if it's mainly just first years?

It's a relief to know that other people don't know many going to UNSW either, I was nervous there were going to be big groups of first year students who already know each other

Yeah criminology is more so like that :)

I'm still 17 too, I can't wait until April tho!!!! I'll finally be 18 ... then I can finally go to the UNI parties etc

I'm going O-week just to meet some new people, so when I finally start uni it won't be that daunting! Most of my friends are going to USYD, UTS, MAQU, WSU

Some people hate oweek, some people love it
just immerse yourself in as much as you possibly can to enjoy the full experience :D
the best part of it tbh is the roundhouse party.. i dont think ill go to this one though, i'd feel out of place haha
