<p>I received my Welcome Week guide last week and I'm getting amped about attending a few events and meeting other freshmen/transfers. </p>
<p>I was just wondering if anyone on CC is going to Welcome Week and what events they are looking to attend. It seems like there is something for everyone....</p>
<p>there's so much..i dont even know where to begin lol</p>
<p>some of them are boring/silly/not worth going to...</p>
<p>aka the bobst library tour</p>
<p>also it's not a support for the rumor that "nyu students never set foot in the library" that is apparently popular among columbia students. It's just a waste of time and it's a pretty easy to navigate library, and i think they sit you down and like teach you how to use the computer and the card catalogue which is self-explanatory.</p>
<p>lol..what other events are boring/silly</p>
<p>what events did you find fun?</p>
<p>i think people said the reality show is a good one to go to</p>
<p>freshmen are required to go to the reality show with their school.
i didn't go to too many but i heard these were good
-rocky horror
-brooklyn bridge/grimaldis
-some neighborhood tours</p>
<p>skip all the ones in kimmel where they just sit you down and talk to you and give you tips...(unless theres free food and you like to eat)</p>
<p>I was actually going to check out the Bobst Library tour. I thought it may be self explanatory but I haven't been passed the entrance lobby so just to see the rest. I also thought about checking out the Brooklyn Bridge walk and the Chinatown Tour would be interesting. I also thought about the career excursions, they sound interesting. Too see behind the scences of some of those companies like NY1 news station or Google...Whats up with that 60/40 Being Male at NYU? I mean what is there really to say about the ratio? I may check out some of the ones held at Kimmel just to see what it is about. Silly ones? Yeah there are a few of those which I think I'll pass on, what is up with the Drag Queen Bingo??? </p>
<p>I didn't know of the saying among Columbia about NYU students, so is there a saying NYU has about Columbia students? Come on there must be something....If not there should be one soon......</p>
<p>why would they have a seminar on the 60/40 ratio for MALES?!! Perhaps it should be the other way around.</p>
<p>def. go to reality show, rocky horror was fun, and i went to see both a comedian (christian finnegan) and an hypnotist (different nights) and loved both shows. i'm trying to remember one other thing I enjoyed...but can't. if i do remember, i'll let y'all know.</p>
<p>Probably to give a reality check to any delusional males who believe the "favorable ratio" will help them.</p>
<p>And I didn't attend a single welcome week event. Don't regret a thing.</p>
<p>firewalker..what did you do instead???</p>
<p>and does anyone know anything about the secret show?</p>
<p>usually a band, i think. can't remember who it was last year, but i didn't go.</p>
<p>"firewalker..what did you do instead???"</p>
<p>Tried to do a couple "social things" with people on my floor, looking back...was a total waste of my time. I wish I spent more time alone.</p>
<p>I advise neighborhood exploring, shows/attractions if you're not big on "welcome week".</p>
<p>last year, the mystery concert featured animal collective
i wish i knew who it was this year</p>
<p>exactly my thoughts.</p>
<p>I wanted to shoot myself during the Animal Collective show but then Ghostface Killah (see Wu-Tang Clan if you don't know who he is) came on and put on a good show.
The whole point is that the concert is a "mystery" about who's playing but the names of the bands leaks out a few days in advance. Either way, it's a free show.
Hypnotist and comedian are worth seeing. Usually one of the sketch comedy groups puts on a show. Reality show is generally really good. The tours are worthless, get a map and just wander around the city. They also have a bunch of random stuff like Yankee/Mets games, US Open (Stern) and things like that which, depending on what you like, are worth going to.</p>
<p>I want to go to the US Open. Damn why didn't I apply to stern.</p>
<p>I heard alot about the reality show. Shame I didn't attend.</p>
<p>But not really.</p>
<p>Is the Presidential welcome really mandatory?</p>
