I had only just met the person... she had clearly been misinformed. That's all. Besides I didn't really have a clue so... argh!

Leave me alone. :)

Considering i payed $604 and amid the claims that the the union supported clubs + socs i assumed that no membership fees were necessary :( .
ha. yes. Welcome to the usu world of paying ridiculous amount of fees and not getting anything out of it (apart from maybe a 50c cheaper coffee). But hey, that's a completely different argument altogether. I think the gym is a bit of a rip-off, but hey, if you're going to be checking out other hot muscley people, then go for it :p

50c cheaper coffee, which is 2/3rds more disgusting than a non-Union coffee.

Re: 0rientation Week

Is it normal to go to all three days, or do people usually go to only one or two days at their leisure?
I know this thing is not compulsory, but want to missout on too much thing by going only one day. And I would like to convince a couple of my friends to come along.

I only went for the first 2 days. You wont miss out on much if you don't go all three days.

Re: 0rientation Week

Does anyone know whether non-Usyd students are able to go to the night events? On the website it says the event is free but will be ticketed, does that mean you'll be able to get in even if you haven't got a Usyd student card and aren't going there? I mainly wanted to know for the Wednesday night entertainment and also the Starky show on Thursday afternoon

Re: 0rientation Week

I know I have to pay for Friday night, but on the website it specifically mentions that non-students have to pay for friday night, it lists the prices for other students and other people, but on the wednesday and thursday programs it doesn't mention any payments for anyone

Because the Thursday Starky show is on the front lawns, I don't think you have to pay at all. Most of the Wednesday and Thursday events are outside, so I doubt they'll cost anything,

Re: 0rientation Week

Hey! I wanted to come and see Dappled Cities Fly today but I slept in, so I guess i'm just coming tomorrow.
But I was wondering if the stalls for the same clubs and societies were up each day of O-week, also, is joining these things normal, do most people belong to one form of club or another, I have a friend who started uni last year who said that no-body really does them or has time for them and they're a waste of time, is this the popular opinion really? Are any ones in particular not really thought much of?

Also! Is there a way to get a list of texts for you to buy? Howz? Wherez?

One way would be to go into the coop bookstore near the Redfern side of the Uni and check the text lists there, or you could check the UoS database on MyUni, but they're a bit crap sometimes (don't always list textbooks).

Re: 0rientation Week

I was just wondering... can students from usyd purchase their textbooks from the broadway co-op bookshop?? or are we limited to the one on our campus? I'm just curious as the broadway one is on the way back to central station hence less travelling with a heavy load and besides kind of embarrassed myself in the co-op bookshop in usyd >_<

You probably have to ring up and check if they have USYD textbooks.

Re: 0rientation Week

On the outline of my courses (from handbook) it tells me some of the texts I need for some subjects - but others don't say anything. Do I need textbooks for these subjects or will it just comprise of online readings etc - will my lecturers get mad if I don't have these books on first day(expecting us to go to co-op) - or will they tell us on the first day what these books are that we need?
