O-Week 2012: The Circus
Wednesday 29 February – Friday 2 March
Come one, come all! The University of Sydney Union (USU) invites you to the biggest orientation festival in Australia. On 29 February, O-Week 2012 kicks off with the most high-flying, boredom-defying introduction to campus life you’ll experience during your degree at the University of Sydney.
The USU's non-stop social scene will have you juggling classes, free time and fun like a pro before you know it. Whether you’re ready to cannonball yourself into the enormous world of Clubs and Societies or simply chill out at Manning or Hermann’s Bar on a lazy afternoon, O-Week 2012 gives you your first tantalising taste of everything the USU has to offer.
Find some of the best student talent on display at our Big Top each day, and make sure you grab tickets to the exciting night events. Our ‘Uncaged’ opening night will launch the party before we send in the clowns for comedy night on Thursday. Then fill your ears with blissful music from some of Australia’s best bands on Friday. You won't want to miss a single moment of O-Week 2012!
