How do you do Orientation?

Orientation looks different for everyone, so there are lots of ways to explore and connect. Whether you’re keen to meet new people, try all the food, tick off every session, or just wander and see what catches your eye, there’s no right way to do Orientation.

That’s why we’ve created our Orientation Personas: a few different ways you might like to explore and get started at uni. You might see yourself in one, or find you’re a mix of a few — either way, use them to plan an Orientation that suits you. Which Persona do you connect with?

The Social Networker

The Social Networker knows every event, every club, and probably everyone too. They bring the hype, the memes, and the good energy wherever they go.
