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.

鈥淚 went to OASIS and checked what was required to do during my first day at Uni. Under the 鈥淢y studies鈥� 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鈥� 鈥� Max, Tourism and Hospitality and Marketing |
 |
鈥淚 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鈥檛 walk into the wrong class on my first day 鈥� weird, but it worked!鈥� 鈥� Veena, Speech Pathology |
 |
鈥淔or 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鈥檚 content to ensure I knew what would be occurring.鈥� 鈥� Olivia, Human Resource Management and Management |
 |
鈥淚 printed a map and highlighted the rooms I knew my classes were in.聽 That way, I had an idea of where I was going, or could at least ask someone!鈥� 鈥� Hayley, Accounting and Law |
