is cool
didn't think so
I'd suggest your info is either old or exaggerated because Duty of Care has stopped much of this kind of activity no matter which state you live in. Most colleges in O week will have a couple of themed dances, a scavenger hunt, maybe a quiz night, a corridor function, a pub night, and I doubt a fresher would ever get through an O-Week without being soaked at least once, but you will get to keep your clothes on. There will likely be some kind of welcome BBQ, and possibly a pancake breakfast or similar during the week. All their first week activities revolve around getting people mixing and developing support networks. You'll also get the much more boring fire drills, anti-harrasment and bullying wokshops.So what kind of things do Melbourne uni colleges do to freshers during o-week/the whole year? I've heard some pretty bad things about colleges in Sydney, but apparently it's actually quite fun being left in the middle of nowhere with no money, clothes or phone... haha
Don't be scared of them, colleges are a great way to start uni life particularly if you are going to a new city. You will be surrounded by people who have the same pressures as you, and will support you when you need it, and what'smore you don't have to leave home to party. Most other uni students will actuallt envy you your lifestyle.ahh thanks Miner, that sounds a lot better than the stuff I've heard which probably is exaggerated, but its still pretty scary ha
It's nothing that drastic but it isn't as tame as Miner paints it...what college did you go to miner?So what kind of things do Melbourne uni colleges do to freshers during o-week/the whole year?

I'm looking to go to Melbourne Uni next year and I was wondering why so many people dislike Ormond College?
cause they're mad cunts who party basically all the time. 3 nights a week at the pub, college parties fortnights, that sort of shizzle. other colleges just jealous.Im in year 12 in rural vic at the moment and looking at melb uni next year. Looking at Hildas and Marys for colleges and wondering what every ones opinions are and why Hildas seems to have a bit of a bad rep.

Awesome, that sounds like my kind of night. You staying at a college? that would make it 100fold more epic wouldnt itWe were woken up at 6, stripped down to our underwear, blindfolded and walked through the city. we also had a scav hunt (many of the things we had to do involved getting naked), a pool session, a pub crawl (15 pubs between 10 and 6) a few pub nights and a couple of turns.
1. Drinking, games, scav hunts, talks, drinking, drinking, more drinking, a bit of scoring. I think you find out if you're into college a few days after you're offered a place in your degree. However, if you deferred from uni to work, and you're already into a course, you may get a place before christmas (that was my situation)Can someone please answer the following Q, would really appreciate it:
Firstly, I think my first preference will be University College, but this isn't a definite.
Ok:
1-What actually occurs on O-week? I want to go to alot of parties, hit alot of pubs etc etc. All of which will be a part of breaking down social barriers and meeting new people. Also, since the O-week is the week before University commencement, are you admitted to a college before this week? or do you have to find your own accomodation in this week, then start college and uni the following week.
2-Is there a curfew at UC? Like do you have to be back in your room by a certain time etc etc. Say i hit the town till 4am, could i get in?
3- Are other people allowed to stay in your room with you? like say you meet a girl out, would they allow her into your room for the night? I know your prob thinking "pfft, tryhard" but i mean if i'm staying there for 5 years or something its something i wanna know.
4- Would a UAI of 97.8 (MX2, Physics, Chemistry, English, Pdhpe) + 9 months of experience in a related field (e.g. construction) to what your going to study (Engineering)+ Letter of reference from the project manager, be enough to ensure a position at the college?
Thanks again guys.
You're from Albury. Cool. I grew up in Albury.Awesome, that sounds like my kind of night. You staying at a college? that would make it 100fold more epic wouldnt it
Hey, I went to Queen's for 2 years, came from Albury down to Melbourne.I was also wondering just how hard it is to get into Queen's college as that would be my first choice. Going to Melbourne from rural NSW would I need a very large ATAR, would I have to have held leadership roles, or done community work etc???
