    Nothing to be nervous about. I'll be in on Saturday helping out with the Orientation so if you have questions you can ask then or PM if you want.

    I think I'm bricking it, though I'm trying distract myself with 101 things that need doing beforehand. Have you got everything sorted regarding stuff you wanna know? Keep thinking I've got a scope of it, and something else pops up. Eyes set on any electives?

    Just so you know, none of the cafes or restaurants will be open on Saturday, so you may want to bring a snack as it can be a long day.

    Yes there is. Since you aren't likely to be at the Orientation, there will be a stand during Freshers or you can just come along to one of the events and join. Having drinks on the 5th. You can see on the FB page
