Roberts O-Week is a week of fun, making new friends and familiarizing you with your new surroundings.

O-Week starts the week before Uni starts, and will make the transition from living at home to living by yourself easier (not to mention fun and exciting). In the process you will make zillions of new friends, you’ll hardly feel homesick at all.

O-Week is organized by a group of about 12 resies, in conjunction with the Resident Advisors. They make sure that you’ll feel at home @ Roberts in no time, and no effort will be spared to do so.

The festivities start on Sunday (the week before Uni starts), with the welcome BBQ, and go on until the following Sunday. The whole week is packed with activities to enlighten and enliven. If I didn’t mention it before, there are plenty of free feeds, so you don’t have to worry too much about meals.
