<p>My son is so excited that a decision has been made and that we decided the extra oos tuition at CP was worth it. </p>
<p>Anyone else here from Washington state? Are you going to SOAR? How will you get to SLO in September–drive, fly, train? </p>
<p>Right now we’re planning to drive–will head down early for a little family vacation and shopping, stay for the first day of WOW and then head back home.</p>
<p>We are from WA. We will probably go to SOAR but have not decided about how to get to either event yet. Thanks for posting this. It will be nice to know else who is from WA.</p>
<p>I reconnected with an old h.s. (CA) classmate at a reunion recently who has lived close to Seattle, WA for years now. She has two twentysomething kids who both attended Cal Poly and they just *loved *their experience there. Her son even stayed on and got his Master’s in Biomedical engineering and makes a *very *nice living now! Her daughter transferred out of Architecture into International Marketing and a minor in Vocal Music. Spent a year in Italy studying abroad.</p>
<p>She was telling me that her daughter was a member of the choir at Cal Poly<br>
and they took a singing tour of the West coast, so<br>
invited them to stop for lunch at their house when they were on their<br>
way to Seattle. This GIANT tour bus parked in front of her house on<br>
her modest street and she had lunch ready for 60 kids. She said it was a zoo! But, lots of fun. She bought 6 foot subway sandwiches etc. They were all so sweet and the barbershop quartet serenaded them all from the front lawn. The neighbors are still scratching their heads, she said. LOL :)</p>
<p>We are from Washington too. My daughter is majoring in Animal Studies (pre-vet). We are from Redmond. We are not going to go down for SOAR (just not enough pros to justify the time). For move-in, we are planning to drive down over the weekend and will be ready for the move-in on Monday. My wife and I will then drive up HWY 1 to Oregon and then back to WA on 101. It is a trip we have talked about doing but never found time for. Dropping our daughter at SLO is the prefect excuse!</p>
<p>ParentalUnit and Schooner, where are you from?</p>
<p>We’re from Anacortes</p>
<p>Hey! i’m going into biomedical engineering and i’m from bainbridge island…my friend is also attending and he’s going into computer science…</p>
<p>I’m going to SOAR and I think my mom and I are driving down and scoping out the area for when I move in… We are also driving down for move in…</p>
<p>My son is class of 2013 and has had a great freshman year at CalPoly…great school!
