Orientation Week impression

Jiggy

Hey guys,

what did you all think of orientation week,meet many people or make many mistakes ?
Part from not finding my lock on Monday night it went all good tough campus security are d*ckheads when they tell you to go around the other entrance after you have walked directly up to them

Apart from meeting some cool people and getting my student card it was a waste of a week really.

The BEST program was a heap of ****e seriously. What does building paper towers have to do with my course?

Can't wait to start my proper work!

It was pretty "meh" tbh, felt like a waste of time.

I just want my course to start, I'm sick of all this!

What's the story with next week actually?

It's freshers week next week, i'm fairly sure the SU are organising a load of activities all throughout the week we do still go to lectures tho

As for orientation week....more like orientation days, 2 days and you're done.. Wasn't bad but wasn't exactly great either.

Of course, everyone enjoyed ArtSoc's antics too...

The atmosphere during freshers week is great! The campus it buzzing cos all the students are back

Last year freshers ball was one of the best nights!!

It was a DCU idea though, a rather smart and brilliant guy came up with it too.......... :P

Many people including myself didn't think much of orientation week, that it was a waste of time, but it is good in the sense that you are not being shoved into lectures the first day you get there, gives us time to get to know are surroundings etc.

Are you expected to be at lectures or lying somewhere recovering from the night before?

Great week.

Lock and key was great fun despite not finding a lock..

County colours was pants though, but 3 euro drinks in slippers was great

Missed the ball because i was at a debs..

and the hypnotist was brilliant.

Didn't go to the celí, didn't have the energy, plus had a 18th tonight..

Overall.
Yay college.

:D

I don't know... I wasn't impressed with any of the events but the Ball... I left the rest early and went into town... I hope next week is better!

And also, how is the one guy is Ents for DCU and Maynooth?

I wish I'd met more people, they all seemed to be in groups already and even in one of the talks I was at the woman asked everyone to introduce themselves to each other nobody talked to me.

I think I need to speak up more :eek:

I wouldn't worry about not meeting many people, you'll meet loads in the next couple of weeks what with Freshers Week, Clubs & Socs Week and then meeting all your classmates.

Should be good times, too bad about the lectures

Jammy

I quite liked it!

It was a bit slow, but everyone was new!

Met some cool people and really enjoyed lock and key and the MJ ball.

Would have liked to have met my class more than once though!
