Confused.
I've been hearing so many different things regarding our first few days and I'm confused.
Let me get this straight: We ONLY got to lectures, ignore our tutorials and labs on Thur Sept.8th and on Fri Sept.9th, and then follow our schedule regularly afterwards. Yes? ..No?

for pretty much the first week after classes start youll be ignoring labs and tutorials, like say on sept 13 you have a lab for a course that you havent gone to your first lecture for, dont go to the lab. your profs will tell you when youre supposed to go to your first labs and tutorials !

They're actually science experiments gone terribly wrong. The 2nd basement of BSB is sketchy, alright.

If you're worried about it, go to the room where you have the labs and tutorials during Welcome Week. Usually they'll have a sign saying "No labs until [insert date]". Then you'll know for sure.

But it's guaranteed there won't be any labs. The labs are there to reinforce what you're learning in class, and if you haven't had class yet, how can you be expected to perform a lab?

Yeah, it can only be accessed through the stairwell in the front left corner of BSB, the corner closest to JHE.

Don't joke about the elves. They might hear you, and they don't mess around.

Do you mean a sub-basement? For example, the Tank is a sub-basement.
