Orientation are usually important the first 2 days. Planning your course units especially electives will be briefed during this time. Also, allocating your units (smash them all in 3 days or spread over 5 days?) the earlier the better.
After that, it'll be campus tour and games. Skipping this is all right because the campus isn't all that big. But getting to make friends from this may change the way you undergo your uni life.
Uni isn't just about books and classes. It's how/who you make friends, participate in student activities and shape your character.

Will I be completely lost as far as subject planning is concerned if I don't attend the first day of orientation? I don't really mind the boring-ness, but I'm planning to skip the entire thing to attend intensive Japanese classes, really. QUOTE(FlyingCloset @ Jan 25 2011, 10:47 PM) Hie !

I transferred from UniSA to Monash last year. Got about 7 exemptions.
