<p>i’m from sac, and that’s what i did. if you wait, the tickets can get really expensive.
you take the risk of something coming up, but it probably needs to be really severe in order for you to want to miss your flight home for winter break.
i just booked my ticket for usually the day after my last final.
professors won’t change your final dates to later than whats on tritonlink.</p>
<p>you just reminded me that i need to book mine right now too. hahaha.</p>
<p>Freshmen haven’t registered for classes yet. Your last final could be on tuesday, for all you know and you certainly won’t want to wait around till saturday to fly out (it’s a ghost town by saturday, trust me). At least wait until you register to book it.</p>
<p>One of my suitemates did that, everyone in our suite was gone by like Wednesday or so. She was stuck in SD with everyone gone until Saturday… Our cleaning lady apparently came in and laughed at her being all alone in the suite. It was kind of sad… I think you should wait until you register.</p>
<p>why don’t you just book two flights (one early in the week and one later) on southwest? it’s not like you lose the money if you cancel it – it’ll be cheaper overall now, and you can use the credit for a future flight.</p>
<p>(you might also be screwing over everyone else, but whatever)</p>
<p>Which airline has the best deals from San Diego to Sacramento and vice versa?</p>
<p>southwest FTW</p>
<p>(i’m also from sac - where’d you go to hs?)</p>
<p>I’m not exactly from Sacramento but it’ the closest airport to my place. I went to Lindhurst High School in Olivehurst. It’s about 40 miles north of Sacramento.</p>
<p>^A northerner! I’m from Lincoln. And yeah, Southwest is the cheapest.</p>
<p>Yes, I’m a northener. 
I have another question. When I first leave to UCSD this fall, should I drive there or should I fly? Which one is more convenient?</p>
<p>^If you can get all your stuff there on a plane, then all the power to you to fly.</p>
<p>rent a car to drive down, send your parents home on a one-way flight</p>
<p>Does anyone know whether there are lockers to store our belongings for a short amount of time around the campus like in high school?</p>
<p>I believe it is more convenient, if i am carrying a lot of stuff, to store my stuff in a locker for a short time and retrieve it later in the day than having to walk all the way back to my dorm, put my stuff down, then walk the full distance back to meet up with my friends again.</p>
<p>They have commuter lockers (I think) in price center, but you have to provide the lock. Honestly, it’s not that big of a deal to carry your stuff around, you just learn to deal with it. Keep in mind you will 99.9% of the time NOT have to carry around textbooks. Once in awhile you’ll bring a book to section but you never bring them to lectures.</p>
<p>That leaves you with a backpack/some type of bag with a laptop or a notebook and pen. Not too much to carry.</p>

<p>You’ll find out that it will just be easier to take your stuff back to your dorm.</p>
<p>When do we pay for/pick meal plans?</p>
<p>Just checked into the course recommendations for me and it says I still gotta take Warren Writing. I know I am a Freshman straight out of high school but the thing is, I already have IGETC Certification (cuz of how my high school is set up with a college program). I read that people with IGETC don’t have to take Warren Writing or follow the GE’s and just take three upper-division classes unrelated to my major… but it was still recommended to me 
</p>
<p>Does that rule of IGETC only applies to transfer students or anyone that has an IGETC? I really don’t want to take Warren Writing.</p>
<p>63 pages, I hope this hasn’t already been answered too many times.</p>
<p>I’ve been looking through the class schedules and a lot of the classes go until 2:50 or 3:50 or 4:50 or such. I’m assuming this is basically an allotted 10 minutes to get to the next class if you have one directly after. Is that a big enough gap? I’ve been consciously trying to not plan classes directly after the other.</p>
<p>we can only register for classes one at a time on WebReg right?</p>
<p>@ hungyhung - blocks of classes are much easier than having to deal with 1-hr chunks of time throughout the day (too short for hw, napping). you can walk the distance between york and solis in 10 minutes (see campus map, it’s to scale) and anything beyond that is easily accomplished with a bike.</p>
<p>@ 92faim - um, yes. it’s faster if you look up the six-digit section code ahead of time and type that in instead of going through the schedules.</p>
<p>@tealeaf2- you are automatically assigned the basic meal plan and you pay for it with housing, it’s included in your housing payment(s).</p>
<p>@hungyhung - this website: [url=<a href=“CampusMap”>CampusMap]CampusMap[/url</a>] will tell you how long it takes to walk from building to building. Try to not plan classes next to each other that are too far away. Most of the time, you should be fine to get there in 10 minutes. And agreed with astrina, having hour-long breaks is really inconvenient and unproductive.</p>
