Frequently Asked Questions
QWill university be really hard?
Only if you don't go to any Frosh Week events!

QDo I need to pay/register to come to Frosh Week?
The only event you need to sign up for is Frosh Retreat, which costs $85 and can be done on the Retreat page. All other Frosh events are free and open to everyone!
QHow can I buy a Red?
Reds and all Engineering paraphernalia are sold at Red Sales in the Cheeze. Check the Red Sales door for hours, and stay tuned for a new E-Store!
QHow can I get involved?
There are several opportunities available within the EUS - including the PP Council entirely made of first years, as well as a few open ex-officio positions. For a full list of opportunities, talk to a friendly EUS exec!
QHow crazy is Frosh Retreat?
If the craziness of Frosh Retreat was put into a just born kitten, it would spontaneously turn into a thousand hungry lions. Of course, they'd be very fun lions.
QWho has ALL the answers, and where can I ask my questions?
QWhat is tanking?
Tanking is an optional, fun engineering tradition where the Tankee is tossed into a pool of water by his/her friends after a series of joke charges are read. It's both a spirited spectacle and a way to show playful banter between fellow engineers. After the tanking has been initiated you have 24 h to prepare for this age-old ceremony! Doesn't sound like fun to you? Don't worry, nobody gets tanked if they don't want to be! Forced tankings are not cool and not tolerated.
QHow can I find help with my courses?
The EUS offers tutoring for first year courses. Check in with the VP Academic for courses and times.
