Orientation 2008 - A window to student life at RMIT.

An informative and entertaining RMIT Orientation 2008 ran from February 4 to March 7, 2008.

Highlights included; free BBQ and soft drinks, club demonstrations by ITF - Tae Kwon Do Club and Cheerleading, a caricaturist, a palm reader, free massage and a temporary tattooist marquee. The festival days introduced students to a wide range of student services, sport and social clubs, student associations as well as external service providers.

First year Design Student, Marcus Ballinger said the City festival day was good, “a lot of information…free food and drinks was a good surprise”
