O-Week

i know most or possibly all unis have o week but is it compulsory to attend? i want that extra few days of holidays :P
and is it essential to go? any recommendations on whether i should go or not?
to me it seems like a waste of time because basically all you will be doing is have a BIG tour around the uni and its surroundings. Makes me feel kind of childish going on a "school excursion"

But there will be free BBQs!!!! Yummy!!!!

And they will give you a tour around the places where you will be attending your lectures and tutes...It would be useful to go....thats why I wanna go so that I know my way around (the lecture rooms in my engineering course seem difficult to find so I would want to know where they are exactly).

You don't have to attend every single day of O-week ....

Which, if you get lost easily like me, is a good idea :P

And my orientation "week" is only 2 days (21st and 22nd February) :P

More than just free BBQs, especially now since most unions have to rely more on corporate sponsorship you can get all kinds of free junk, like Red Bull and stuff (and water, :P lol)! Plus, tours really aren't a bad idea, it's within your best interests to be familar with where you'll be going as well as with the library. And you'll meet new people. The whole realm of uni seems pretty exciting/worrying to me, it'll probably be good to get an idea about how it works before you have to worry about study. If it's a new environment it's probably best that you get as much exposure as possible.

Yeah, there's only interesting stuff to do for a day, then the rest of the week is for socialists to recruit you.
