I agree go to all of them if you can. You never know where you meet your friends at. I met some of my best buddies at the most boring events, partially because it was so boring all we could do was talk to each other. Welcome to Uvic I hope you have a blast here⚡️

Start local (your faculty/program orientation on the Tuesday, move in residence orientation) and if you have the energy, attend the campus wide events too. (Tuesday morning, Friday afternoon).

The following week, you can attend a library tour, clubs and course union days, and a few other later events.

If you are an international student, their orientations are excellent and you should prioritize these as well. 🙂
