      You go for orientation to get to know others. It's for you to mingle around, get to know some other people and have some contacts for mutual support during the first few semesters.

      Most importantly, you get to know a few seniors, who are highly invaluable for advice, guidance, and old textbooks.

      I went for engineering camp just before I matriculated in NUS four years ago. I've just graduated. No regrets going for that camp, man. I'm still in touch with many members of my orientation group, and my seniors were very helpful in guiding me along undergraduate life.

      If you go there just for the sake of hanging around with people you already know, then it totally defeats the purpose of orientation camp.

      I entered Chem Eng but I went for Biz Ad camp last time. icon_lol.gif

      Like FI said, it's about getting to know more friends and networking.

      Part & parcel of growing up.

      If your past experience in JC is what's stopping you, all e more reason to venture out & not repeat e mistakes this time round..right? tongue.png

      If you let go of your inhibitions and go there with an open mind, you will enjoy it. Orientation is one of those memorable times in uni.

      Last time I got to build a float and won some prize... Then again, its a waste of time the orientation thing.  He's right, no friends there, people tend to leave you out.

      go better, get a good grip on networking, a very critical process you need to learn naturally. You can alway look for kuay teow and mee kia to mix with, afterall, you meepok ya. Bee Hoon also can lah.

      yea im having this dilemma too, whether to join the engin camp or not. im not very used in this kinda camp stuff and staying overnight, furthermore there is no one to accompany me. in the end i decided to give this camp up and join the orientation week instead
