Here you will find the latest news about
We shall be at Västgöta Nation (commonly called VG because no-one can be bothered saying "Västgöta")
We shall be there between 10 and 17 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
We shall be there between 10 and 16 Saturday and Sunday
There will be activities running during the day and during the evenings. We will even have activites on Monday and Tuesday evening (Jan 21 and 22)
Most importantly, you will get your temporary student ID card, which gives you access to all of the Nations for the duration of Orientation Week. It is a good idea to go to as many nations as you can and try and get a feel for which one you may want to join, because it is expected that when the week is over you will choose which Nation you want to join and you will pay your Union and Nation fees to that Nation!
