I have although I probably won't stick to it 100%. I'll more than likely go with the flow on the day.

Out of curiosity, has anyone booked a library tour? What's the difference between the 'Matheson library tour: Orientation Week program' and the 'Matheson library tour: Get to know YOUR library?'

Yeahhh I agree, I put in a bunch of stuff but yeah might not follow it all. I'm not going on the Friday of o week and I have compulsory course stuff on Wednesday and Thursday.
What does your plan look like? Hope we can meet up!

I signed up for a random library tour, I think it was Hargrave though. I haven't confirmed my plan yet though so idk. Do you have to go to everything you schedule or??
There's a get to know your library for every library so I think it might be useful. Maybe I should do a couple of library tours?
The monash libraries are specific to each faculty thing right?

In any case hope to see you guys there :)

I didn't even think about the different libraries and their being specific to different faculties but yeah, that makes sense! I think I'll probably join whichever one I'm free for.

I'd love to meet up! I'll be at the Host Scheme BBQ on the 18th and I'll be around Tuesday and Wednesday as well. I think I'll mostly chill and explore the campus but I'm planning to attend a few things like the campus tours, library tour, and the information session on professional writing and effective study skills.

What about you? :)

^Pretty much bang on! Reward yourself with some Grainwaves. ;) Apologies for the intrusion - just a few quick words re: Monash (Clayton) libraries for those interested.

Babushka is correct in identifying that there are three main libraries: Matheson, Hargrave-Andrew and the Law Library.

In theory, these are essentially split by faculty. But like, if you're an Arts student, that doesn't mean you can't study in the Hargrave-Andrew Library. If you're a Law student, you can still study in Matheson etc. I personally never studied in the Law Library (the Lawbrary) because I found it a little intimidating, but nobody in Matheson or Hargrave could give less of a shit what you study.

Over time, I tended to drift toward Hargrave (also known as HAL) more and more. My favourite spot there was the basement, which few(er) people seem to know about. When you go in the main doors, take an immediate left (basically along the reception desk) and go down the stairs right in front of you. I found it really quiet - particularly in less busy periods - and good for effective study periods.

Matheson has just been upgraded. Like, completely changed to the point that I don't think I'd even recognise it. Does anybody know if that's still going? And I'd also be interested in what they've done on the ground level of HAL, if anybody wants to check that out for me haha.

In terms of libraries in general, I'd recommend going to one of those introductory sessions. I don't know if you'll learn anything groundbreaking, but it couldn't hurt. The libraries on campus can be really, really helpful in a number of domains. All of the library staff are really nice, too; if ever you're having trouble with finding something or studying or anything, I reckon they'd be more than happy to help. :D

P.S. There's also a recreational library upstairs in Campus Centre (near Wholefoods and Monash Abroad) called the John Medley Library, which is sort of neat. :)

Lol so many people doing science, I feel like an outsider (congrats to everyone btw). I'm doing Arts, planning to major in Politics/International Studies and Criminology. Looking forward to when classes start, hopefully my timetable looks good haha

I did International Studies at one point. The lecturer for first year is a legend. He is probably, most likely, gonna be the only tutor/lecturer that will actually push you to do your work.

I'd like to advise all students who do first year tours at Monash that it is crawling with marxist communists who like to prey on the fresh-out-of-vce-and-quite-liberal-most-likely-arts type of student. Their methods and persecution to make you join their club is rather un-gentlemanlike behaviour.

I hope everybody starting uni enjoys the beginning of the journey. :)

Yay, that's awesome! :D What made you want to study Arts, out of interest?
Sorry for the late reply! Idk really haha I guess I've always just felt a stronger affinity towards the arts subjects than pursuing something like engineering or medicine or science haha also I'm horrible at maths so those were out of the question haha

Also doing Arts, you're definitely not alone!

Politics sounds absolutely fascinating and I'm hoping to take some electives in it at a later date.

Anyone here studying literature, linguistics, philosophy, or history? Hit me up, I'd love to meet you! :)
I'm doing a philosophy (Philosophy: The Big Question i think it's called) subject as part of my free points at unimelb, looking forward it haha :) which one/s are you doing?

Hahaha now you've made me even more excited to start! Hopefully I can keep my motivation levels up for all my subjects since some lecturers won't be had motivating and motivation is a weak point for me lol

Sounds great! I missed that you're at Melbourne because I'm at Monash but I'm doing Life, death, and morality. :)

Yeah awesome, that's really great stuff! :D We sound similar hahaha. Let us know how you're going throughout the year; I'd be really interested in your perspective. :)

Great unit (particularly if you have Toby Handfield).

Yep, haha was surprised to see this pop up in recent posts. Admittedly, I actually use the site much more now than I did for most of high school (apart from exam/results period, which I believe was under another I account I deleted). Gotta love the uni subject reviews, as someone who has been extremely fickle throughout my whole course.
