Is worth it to go to orientation week and are you going? (2 Viewers)

[sadpwner]

If you already got your student ID, I don't see a point of going. I am in mining engineering. Is it worth going for that?

 

[leehuan]

So do you care for student life and clubs/societies?

Also look on here for anything potentially interesting http://www.planner.unsw.edu.au/index.php#cate

Don't need to go for your degree. Go for the orientation into university life.

If you're new to UNSW I would say it's worth going just to see what O-Week is like.. the sheer size of it and the amazing vibes!! Also, if you're planning on joining and clubs/societies it's the perfect place to do so. If you want to meet some new friends, attending a faculty welcome can be an awesome place to start! I met a few new friends at the Law bbq if I remember correctly Have a great time if you do go

Go with your friends, and make sure you know where your tute rooms and lectures are!

Do most people go with their friends? What if you know 0 people at UNSW?

Go and meet people, and make friends then

I think lots of people go with their friends (assuming some friends attend the same uni)

Okay coolio. Any 2015ers going to o-week? Or any going that doesn't really know anyone, let's meet up

this obviously calls for a unsw bos meat

but since you live on campus, you have greater opportunities to make new friends

Of course I'm going to O-week. But Mon-Wed I'm attending a fair load of lectures though.

Any clue as to where BSOC sets up camp during o-week?

Also.

@OP: Going to O-week for your ID card is also a very bad idea. The crowds are massive and it's recommended you get your ID card well BEFORE O-week

I went and got my ID card from the library on the 25th of January - The guy said they were expected to have everyone's details by the 27th of January (today) but since I accepted my offer and did everything on the 20th I was able to get it. Remember to bring some form of ID with a recent picture of yourself (I brought my passport)

+ They've scrapped the aluminium foil concession sticker on the ID card - You can't get it anymore

+ Arc will be renewing membership and giving out membership closer to O-Week (It's too early at the moment)

I'm getting it as soon as I'm bothered. And yes, I'm well aware that you need to bring ID - I'm using my licence.

What benefit is there other than just exploring the uni life? Is there any study benefit?
