With exams due to start in about a month's time, students are being encouraged to take some time out and distract themselves.
The week of activities was based around University Mental Health Day yesterday.
Silverline student lead and Social Impact Studio programme activator Maddi Mitchell said the expo, held in the University Link Building, involved organisations including Student Health, student mental health group Silverline, volunteer group UniCrew, and the Careers Development Centre - who were offering pot plants to students to fit with the message ''Grow your future''.
Grace Dent (21) helped organise a popular knitting circle, ''Spin a Yarn'', which was a chance to ''chill and chat''.
''There were quite a few people who had to be taught how to knit.''
Student Health mental health and wellbeing nurse Tricia Lawson was at the expo with a range of toys and displays, such as glitter jars, designed to distract students before exams.
There was also art therapy on offer, which was sometimes used to help students in one-on-one sessions at student health, if they were interested in it.
There will also be a flatting expo today, between 10am and 2pm, to give students advice on flats and flatting, and a ''Bob Ross Painting Night'' tonight, run in conjunction with the Otago Students' Art Association.
Dumpling-making sessions would be held tomorrow, and there would be a graduate research barbecue.
''Fluoro Friday'' at St Kilda Beach would involve yoga, and allow students to get together and talk.
