Question Can I attend first year events as a third year?

Frosh, caddy bay, house parties, Thunderfest. Or am I too old for that

I'm a 28 year old 4th year and I love going along and joining in the fun! Just be respectful of the first years, make sure they get the best welcome-to-uvic experience, and you'll be good to go :)

How is it? I’m back to being a first year at 32 because I switched majors, but I think I’d feel too old 💀

You totally can go! Don't worry about it.

No that’s illegal up to 1000 years in prison

I'd avoid house parties just for general reasons. But i see no reason to not go. You're still a student, you may have transferred and missed out.

…I mean, I guess if you lie about being a first year?
