Nope! haha though the ranting nature of some posts makes me a bit cautious about not doing anything stupid/embarrassing whilst at uni! My friend got 'featured' in one of the rants way back hahah her 5 mins of fame

The second class registration is on 25th. So it means that I can't register for any classes before that ?
my course advice appointment is on 25th 9:15 and registration opens at 10. So I don't want to left behind.
By the way is course advice appointment important? or just academic advice day is enough to understand what should I do?
(((((...just help me have the timetable that I want plz:D

What's your prospective major / what subjects are you taking this year?

well I am deciding between food science and psychology but my goal is to study dentistry.
for first year I like to take biology,chemistry,MBB1 and Spanish.

[Hancock]

So what don't you understand about your subjects in first year? Do you have a specific query because those subjects look like they lead onto both of those majors.

Don't think I was allocated to a host group.. do you think itll be okay if i just rocked up with my friends group? Because melb uni is expecting me to rock up at 9am on tuesday to be allocated to one and not too keen on that

[Hehetymen]

I came last year and couldn't find my group (was a bit late I think) so I just found a random group and asked if I could join.

[System]

Does anyone know what time the staggered classes will open up for registration?

[ReganM]

Is it on the 25th that I can change my subjects? I want to diff a diff subject, haha.

No problems whatsoever - I had a really shitty host with no friends and I just left and explored the uni myself. I thoroughly endorse just going with whoever your friends have planned to go with - it's much more fun that way.

Spot on, right attitude, it's uni and no-one cares

Change asap. Go to the portal, click the admin tab, click on "unenrol from subjects" or something along those lines, then reenrol in another.

None of it is compulsory, and you don't need to attend a minute of it.

O-Week is a program that's intended to assimilate you into university in a class-free, engaging and helpful environment. Once uni starts, you're back to being on you own.

Depending on your own predispositions, you can get a lot out of O-Week, with the two biggest positive outcomes in my opinion being that you get to make friends and learn your way around the uni.

However, that said, if I had another chance, I wouldn't have attended O-Week for more than maybe a day. What took quite a while was pretty pointless.

All that you should REALLY do on O-Week in my opinion is just find out (and I truly mean walk right up to) the places where your individual classes are gonna be held.  Learn them like the back of your hand, because that's probably the most helpful thing about O-Week; you get a vague sense of where everything is. The more specifically you learn how to get to where you need to be during O-Week, the better. And make some friends along the way.

But no, none of it is compulsory - it's just that you can get something out of it.
