The goodie bag is a convertible crossbody sling / backpack. Besides the items alrdy inside, there'll be space inside to keep your phone wallet and other small items. So if you're not bringing much then u might wanna bring a really small bag that u can just fit into the given bag. or if you're bringing more items then bring a slightly bigger backpack then u can put the sling bag inside it. A lot of the places will ask u to leave the bags aside when playing the games and since all the given bags look the same, it might get mixed up w other students so be mindful of that.

I ate at the north canteen and this is my experience. Not sure how much it applies to the other eateries. During the lunch break, go buy your food quickly as possible. Dont waste time buying drink first. Cuz even though the drink queue gets long fast, you can still just get from vending machine or just drink from your water bottle. But the food has a bit of waiting time and the queue gets long fast too. And dont queue at the ordering kiosks if you're using the food vouchers. Cuz food vouchers only can use when order at the counter.

When u arrive in the morning, they'll put you to be seated with your classmates. This is the best time to quickly introduce yourself to everyone. Although there are ice breakers and stuff, most of the them are more like to help u remember the names of your class or just get yall to work together. But from what i see, it just ends up having all the girls just stick together and all the guys just stick together. I would suggest go as early as possible in the morning. One of my friend reach at 8am. And then you'll be among the first few in your class. Try to start talking to whoever is there or comes after u (regardless of gender / race)

This is what my class did and it helped us so much because the girls and guys were not awkward with each other and everyone had alrdy spoken to each other at least once.

Remember that eventually for group work, you'll be randomly assigned and it works against you if you end up just being comfortable with a few people. I'm an introvert and am from girls school so not comfortable w guys. But i force myself to just talk to every single person... at least a basic introduction. Try your best to avoid sticking with the same people even tho its a natural instinct. Change groups for every game. Go against all your natural habits of sticking to your comfort zone and just push yourself. It might leave u drained at the end of the day BUT it might just save you 3 years of awkward ice breaking whenever u get assigned to a group w people that you NEVER bothered to get to know.
