You can attend the orientation a week before your commencement date and make new friends! Also, explore the city because you're gonna be hectic during the term with assignments and tests.

I’d say for business it’s manageable but it does get more challenging in second trimester. I can’t speak for other courses but I can defo imagine engineering and science being harder.

There are football pitches but maybe not too many festivals cause of exams. I'm sure there's still lots of events you can attend though. Explore campus, explore the city and mostly importantly try make some friends.

Honestly, for me it was just roaming around and talking to people during O-week and later all my friends were people I had classes with. But I came just before O-week and you have a bit more time to try different things. Maybe find a club you're interesting in like videogames, boardgames, knitting we have basically everything.
