Settling in at Varsity College is really easy
With student support services such as ADCs (Academic Development Coordinators), SRMs (Student Relations Managers), Librarians and Sport and Social Coordinators dedicated to assisting students, the Varsity College first years tend to find the transformation from secondary to tertiary education to be a relatively smooth experience. With some of the first years having spent almost a month in lectures already, the academic year is in full swing!
'O' what fun!
The Varsity College first years were welcomed onto their respective campuses following Varsity College ‘O WEEK’ tradition, and for most, this proved to be an unforgettable experience!!
The formal events such as the symbolic opening address, which was attended by first years, their parents, lecturers and Varsity College staff and ‘’SSUP (Student Support Unplugged) where students met their academic staff and were given their timetables, went a long way towards preparing students for the start of their academic year.
The informal events such as the ‘O GAMES’ and pub lunches facilitated the forming of new friendships with fellow students – a component vital to social side of Varsity College life!
