The first day of move in is Saturday September 5th. All campus-wide events start on the 6th, with the residences that move in on the 5th having their own special activities.

None of my classes have more than one section, and none have tutorials. Ah, the beauty of being in a tiny program as well as an upper-year. Sooo what I picked was what I got.

Even though you have to wake up early everyday and you'll be so tired, Welcome Week is so fun that I would do it again XD

And that's why SO many people (almost 1000 if I remember correctly) are WW reps!

Ditto! Ahh, seminars. I'm actually absolutely terrified about being in a seminar. I'm so shy! AH! School is approaching so quickly and the sun is finally coming out I want my summer! |

Seminars sound super scary... so do the fourth year independent study/project courses. So not looking forward to it.
