Mare Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Ok, I'm not from U of T - but here's what Dalhousie did when I started: Day 1: Buddy Dinner potluck (food provided by our second year buddies) at one of their apartments in Halifax, then downtown to socialize with all the buddy groups. Day 2: Harbour Hopper Tour, Propeller Brewery Tour. Day 3: Triple Buddy Dinner (at tables with our second year buddy, and their third year buddy) at a restaurant downtown. Day 4: Live @ 5 (our weekly social event in the student lounge), Harbour Queen Cruise, and out downtown afterwards. Also within the first month: - Paintball - Beach day - Camping trip & Barn Dance - White Coat Ceremony - Dean's Reception - Several free lunches provided by the banks It was fun M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalgam Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Last year, we had fancy dinners and lunches provided by banks and other sponsors. We had an "amazing race" around the city, go-carting, wall-climbing, white coat ceremony, clubbing ... and yes .. tons of free stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phamster Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 what exactly is the white coat ceremony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalgam Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 It's a ceremony where you are welcomed into the profession. It's kinda like an early "graduation", where you listen to colleagues in the field give quick inspirational speeches, don the white coat, and recite an oath honoring the integrity and standards of the profession.
