That generally doesn't happen at most unis unless you live on campus, and even if you live on campus at UTS you still don't get daily parties lol.

about the parties or about the campus? well i came from qld just moved to sydney recently and my friends sisters and stuff lived on the campus and they all said make sure u dont miss o week its the best fun and its just like a big party. like there are activities during the day then at night they have parties like every night of o week. but at campus there they have parties a lot more often than at the residence at UTS as it is.

I'd think you would get tired of it after a while though - after all doing the exact same thing in the exact same place everynight wouldn't exactly be exciting after an entire year let alone 3 years +

uts is slack!!

Go to the dance party during o week and check it out
and they also have a dance party in the first week- commencement parties
at both city and kuringai

 

[Panda Bear]

yeah pretty much goan_crazy said.

If you're *that* concerned about partying everyday/night during O-week, tag along at another uni or with a friend at another uni with a more social lifestyle. but don't ask me which uni
