    Doing Mech Engineering, i checked the timetable for that and it said that i don't have to be in till the 2nd of Sept. Got my student pack today however and it says that Orientation starts the 31st (night i think) and is compulsory..

    Added to that i'm going to a debs that night....

    Hmmm.. So basically i'm asking, can i just wait til the 2nd and show up for my Engineering orientation?

    Ye its not a HUGE deal..........

    Orientation does puts u into a group of people from ur course and to get to know them and stuff.

    But ye other from that and the Student President's Speech ( BLAH BLAH BLAH ....WELCOME BLAH BLAH BLAH ) its grand...

    My debs is on the 8th. Grrr

    Any idea when we can move into on campus accom?

    And if it says compulsory I'm guessing they REALLY want you to go.

    Well according to what i've learned about the Monday and Wednesday, Monday is just a social gathering in the student bar, and so is tuesday. Whilst Wednesday is our introdutction to engineering, where i suppose we'll do the whole meet and greet.

    So if monday is just a socail gathering i can't see it being essential. Maybe when they said compulsory they were referring to each courses orientation day.

    You can steal broadband from the bushes? We're sorted so.

    Anyone got a thermos? We might fancy some coffee.

    So does that mean everyone have to show up on the 31st??? I put in my course and it gave me a timetable starting from the 3rd :/

    This is all so confusing....

    Yeah there seems to be a number of formalities that are "compulsory" or "highly recommended" in English. I think you'll miss some stuff but if its a real problem to get there for 31st its not an issue.
