[Em.]

I reckon around 2 weeks, max 3 weeks

[DisaFear]

Oh you'll be fine
I remember being lost on my first day of Uni (after having a cancelled train - so I was terribly late)
Ran into Kazdawg from the forums who pointed out the way

Have a mooch around on this site or get the app, it can be quite useful: http://lostoncampus.com.au/monash/clayton

We'll most likely be looking at a meet at Monash during O-Week for everyone to meet eachother.

It's a great way to get to know an initial batch of people as well

You'll be lost for 2-3 weeks max. The positions of things dont usually change week to week. Once you know where everything is it's generally OK.

It seems like a big place at first and it is but buildings tend to kind of cluster. A lot of the science/biomed buildings are next to eachother in a certain area of the uni, same with a fair few arts buildings, etc.

Dont be afraid to use your map for the first couple weeks or ask people where shit is, almost always they're willing to help.

For all new commerce students in 2013, on O week there's this thing called Student Ambassadors that help you on the day.
They also set up a peer mentor kind of thing (starting this year, if i'm not wrong), to help new first years cope with first year uni.
So yeah, if you think you have problems (academic, etc etc), seek one of these ambassadors.

I'm a Student Ambassador for the Bus Eco faculty this year, so yeah, if you have any commerce related problems, just ask us (or some of the older guys on campus).

Yep, that's true

[Michelle94]

Not sure what's tomorrow but I have an information session on Tuesday where they advise you on which units to enroll in and also an enrollment day on the 29th

[Em.]

For those already studying at Monash, did the info sessions help with unit enrolments ? Or did you have to figure it out yourself?
