But Im just wondering what we're supposed to bring at the Orientation? Do we bring stuff to write notes down, folders, etc. or are they unnecessary?

you don't need to bring anything for orientation.. it's a waste of time anyway... they just show you around etc..

youll hardly have a loss.. if anything orientation is rather pointless. they only show you round the uni, which can also be done with a map. the rest is how to meet friends and study etc lol

They often have free food and/or activities to help people get to know each other.

They'll give you a little run down of what to expect during your course, tell you who to talk to if you need help with things etc.

You can get away with not going, but it can help, especially if you get free food.

awesome! We'll be classmates hahaha!! XD

if you want to know how to get to the campus use this:

131500 Transport Infoline - Home


Its really helpful 8D
Also when I went and got my ID at Penrith, the student centre person said don't walk from kingswood station to your campus. Apparently there were a few times when people got mugged there :p So use the bus lol.

Im using liverpool station and a bus from there, it goes directly to Werrington Campus lol XD

yeah I got the letter saying that they have library tours and stuff, so I might do that as well :)

Anyway see you guys there!!! So excited XD


EDIT: lol go here

It arrives every 30 mins. :) Its free lol.

Uni does officially start next week so you do need all your stuff. You basically do go head in immediately so you will be learning so best to bring something.

First week of Uni is always O-week. Pretty much a welcome to new Uni students and a welcome back to all others (not to mention free condoms).
