Orientation week, Welcome week or O-week is pretty much the same thing everywhere you go. An introduction for the new students on what to expect in the school. the thing about O-week here is that they actually offer it before every semester, not like in the US that most of the schools only have orientation week their fall semester.
O-week was pretty entertaining there was so much to do. Workshops, activities and tours around the school and the big library were some of the options of all you could do. One of the things I did on my first day of O-week was attending a big event of people that are part of the human sciences majors. In this event, I had to choose a mentor which I think most of us know what that is. Anyway, we had a tour around the school and got our school ID's. Big shocker, I found out id pictures ARE NOT MY THING.
After that event around 2:00 all international, exchange, and study abroad students had a different introductory talk on how things work around here, our visa and all those shenanigans. At the end, there was a massive Zumba flash mob it was super awkward. Then we had a tour library but there is not so much to share about it (add thinking emoji).
Another thing that happens during O-week is that all clubs and societies set up different stalls so you can join or just ask about what they do. One big difference from the clubs and societies from NCC to here is that to join some clubs or societies you have to pay from 50c up to 5 AUD or more. This "payment" of course gives you different benefits, for example, if you join the food society and pay 5 dollars you will receive free food once a week from an event. Too bad I did not join, big surprise right ?!
Well I hope you get an Idea of what O-week is here in Australia (or at least in the school I am at the moment ) *again thinking emoji here*
Stay tuned for more updates
