Stalls
Each club on campus will be out on the main walkway during O-Week, each housed in a large white stall. They'll be there to answer any questions you might have about their club, and will also be recruiting heaps of new members. There's something for everyone: NUTS (NSW University Theatrical Society), Chocolate Society, Circusoc, Puzzle Club, the list goes on with over 100! For a full list go here. There are also many clubs associated with university degrees. Some other stalls that will be there during O-Week include the Arc (for information regarding membership and all other enquiries), the Roundhouse, CONTACT(information and referral service for students), Sydney buses, and so on.
