Each year, orientation programmes are arranged by some University departments/units and by many student organizations (including the Students' Union, faculty societies and hall associations), normally just before the beginning of the first semester. Their purpose is to help new students adjust to university life and enable them to feel at home in the university community. You are strongly recommended to join these programmes, although you are not under obligation to do so. It often happens that two or more orientation activities are scheduled at the same time, in which case you must set your own priorities.
