There sure is! http://www.oweek.arc.unsw.edu.au/site/clubs/list

Giant Jenga is exactly what it sounds like: Jenga, only giant! The towers get as tall as 2 metres, so hard hats are essential! The UFO lazer encounter is a laser tag game inside a big inflatable maze, with up to 8 players at a time. It should be pretty fun! O-Week starts tomorrow, see you...

Hi Geoff, According to the following website http://www2.fce.unsw.edu.au/nps/servlet/portalservice?GI_ID=System.LoggedOutInheritableArea&maxWnd=_Future_UG_InfoSysInfoTech it's possible to major in Information Systems in either a BCom, BEco or BSc. All of these programs are run by the...

The food outlets on campus (including the quad food court) are privately run, and as such they won't have student discounts (although they are generally quite good value anyway :-) ). Arc run stores, such as the Arc conveniance stores, will have regular "Green Splat Specials", which will give...

Hey guys, The Engineering Faculty Welcome is on the Thursday of O-Week, but we'd encourage you to come in for more than just the one day if possible. You'll find that on the Thursday you'll be busy with welcomes, talks, introductions and tours, so you might not be left with a lot of free time...

Hi Omie Jay, As Frigid pointed out, the Arc website is at http://www.arc.unsw.edu.au. The Arc (it's not an acronym :-) ) is the student organisation on campus. They provide students with things like access to clubs and societies, volunteer programs, discounts on parties and much, much more. For...

Just to clarify., the week of March 3-7 is known by the university as "Week Zero". During this week a number of programs are running. One of these is O-Week, which includes all the fun and excitement which is explained at http://www.oweek.unsw.edu.au The other important thing to note is that...

Hi Everyone, Just a quick note to let you all know that tickets have just gone on sale for the Friday night party at O-Week, featuring three great Australian bands: Bowser, Many Machines on Nine and Grinspoon! Tickets are already selling fast, so be sure to get in early to make sure you don't...

As well as the main UNSW bookshop, there is also a secondhand bookshop on campus, located on the ground floor of the quad, directly under the sundial. They buy and sell secondhand textbooks and you can often save a lot of money buying your books there.

There's a few different ways. The best way is to go up to someone and talk to them! This might sound a little scary at first until you realise that the majority of people wandering around will be first years and most of them will be hoping to meet new people and make new friends, so by starting...

Everyone's O-Week experience is different, so the major highlights will be different depending on what kind of things you're into. Some people love the night time events, like the comedy night or dance party. For other people, it's being introduced to another first year who they become friends...

During O-Week this year the Roundhouse is hosting Grinspoon as the headline act of the final night gig. Ticket prices (which are not yet 100% official) will probably be $40 for adults, $30 for students and $18 for Arc members. So there's a discount for at least one good band (assuming you think...

There are many clubs on campus, and all you need to start a club is a bunch of people, a name and something to do! This is great, but most clubs find they need some kind of support in terms of financial support to run events, resources such as printers, photocopiers, computers, rooms and...

Short answer: No :-) There will be clubs at O-Week which are a) not yet affiliated, but will be in the coming weeks, b) not yet affiliated and will not be affiliating for the current year and c) are currently affiliated but will be choosing to disaffiliate for the coming year. To find out...

As a representative of O-Week, and not the Arc's membership committee, I can endeavor to provide information on this subject, however I can't comment on why the membership structure is the way it is. If you'd like to discuss this with someone in the Arc please contact Hannah Baral, Clubs and...
