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 highly recommend coming to O-Week at UNSW before semester 1 starts!
As a few examples of things to expect, in recent years, you could get up to watching movies, trivia, jumping castles, sumo wrestling, comedy night, and as always the thursday night party down at the Roundhouse!
<B>So... What exactly is O-Week?</B>
O-Week is an entire week of the UNSW year just for you. It helps new students to discover the campus, its community and the opportunities available for you to make the most out of your time at UNSW.
O-Week 2006 features a welcome from your School or Faculty, tours of the campus and library so you don't get lost, heaps of opportunities to meet people, and loads of freebies including your very own student diary.
Also during the day all of UNSW's 150+ clubs and societies will be out in force, so you can check out what they have to offer and join them. (For example, faculty societies, anime, sci-fi, movies, and sport societies such as rugby, tennis, badminton - the works!) We also have the biggest parties of the year featuring great live entertainment, both day and night.
<B>When is it?</B>
O-Week runs from <B>Monday February 20 to Friday February 24</B>, the week before classes start. We kick off around 9am and the big entertainment events go through until midnight or beyond on most nights. There will also be 140 friendly "Yellow Shirts" during O-Week who will be your official guides. These people aren't hard to spot - just look out for people in yellow shirts! (And yes, I'm one of them
)
These volunteers will answer any questions you may have about O-Week or uni, give tours of campus and run entertainment events. Feel free to ask Yellow Shirt if you need directions or would like to know more about events during O-Week.
For more information, and a timetable of events, please visit the O-Week website at http://www.oweek.info/
If you'd like to ask more questions fill free to post here or hopefully at the official O-Week forum at http://www.oweek.info/forums/. I'll be around as a Yellow Shirt so feel free to shoot me questions if you have any...
By the way, moderators, I briefly spoke to Minai about stickying this post if possible. Let me know if its a problem or not -
See you guys there!
Cheers,
Andrew
