The first day of University can often be one that feels slightly overwhelming. Moving into a new environment and a new routine is always difficult so here are some of the ways current Curtin students prepared for their first day of University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/em><\/td>\n\u201cI went to OASIS and checked what was required to do during my first day at Uni. Under the \u201cMy studies\u201d tab I read the unit outline related to the unit I had classes on my first day. Then I made sure I completed the required pre-readings and I had a fully charged computer for class the next day\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Max, Tourism and Hospitality and Marketing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"A<\/em><\/td>\n\u201cI read through my unit outlines and familiarised myself with the program calendar. I also looked up some of my professors on LinkedIn to see what they looked like so I wouldn\u2019t walk into the wrong class on my first day \u2013 weird, but it worked!\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Veena, Speech Pathology<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"A<\/em><\/td>\n\u201cFor my first day, I got to uni around an hour early and looked on campus for where my classes would be, using the Curtin Map app. I then looked over the first week\u2019s content to ensure I knew what would be occurring.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Olivia, Human Resource Management and Management<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"A<\/em><\/td>\n\u201cI printed a map and highlighted the rooms I knew my classes were in.\u00a0 That way, I had an idea of where I was going, or could at least ask someone!\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Hayley, Accounting and Law<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
