O, what a feeling!
QUT will welcome more than 10,000 new students across three campuses this week with O Week highlights ranging from welcome parties and free uni t-shirts to Fort Dodgeball and the Battle of the Faculties.
The 2013 Orientation Week will run from February 18 to 22 at QUT's Gardens Point, Kelvin Grove and Caboolture campuses.
There's a serious side to the week with plenty of academic orientation actitivities to get students off to a flying start.
And then there's the social side ... cardboard box-clad dodgeball, amazing races through the city, amateur sleuthing and faculty showdowns (think air guitars at 15 paces...).
