<p>Thanks jenuwin01 - I’m all for being comfy but I don’t have much $$$ so I’ll go price those mattress toppers.</p>
<p>As far as backpacks, I got grief in 9th grade for showing up with a rolling backpack. I guess only nerds used rolling backpacks… It’s practically brand new (since I used it only a few days!) but my guess is that rolling backpacks are not popular in college either, right? :)</p>
<p>I have nt seen man. Well I ve seen some grad students but not many undergrads</p>
<p>Okay, thanks everyone. I think the bag switching off thing is a good idea!</p>
<p>I also had another question.
Should I keep my Thursday discussion class at 8-9am or change it to a Friday class from 3-4pm? On both of those days I also have a class from 11am-12pm.</p>
<p>huh. 8 am classes are such a pain to wake up for but having a class on a Friday afternoon sucks too…</p>
<p>Well, I think waking up early would probably be the worst of the two though</p>
<p>This may sound stupid, but I’ve heard rumors that Christopher Mintz-Plasse (AKA McLovin from Superbad) attends UCR. Is this true!?</p>
<p>It is true! I’ve never seen him there though, and neither has anyone I’ve asked, haha. So, don’t expect to see him often. I believe he’s an upper division psych major so his classes are pretty specialized by now (the psych building is a bit removed from the main campus).</p>
<p>For continuing students, my finaid is up already! so check yours if you haven’t already (: … apparently, it’s still not out for some people though.</p>
<p>thankfully my gift aid is the same as last year!</p>
<p>for previous freshmen: do we get e-mailed our housing information before it gets mailed to us on sept 1? if we do, does anyone remember around when we get it?</p>
<p>Because of AP tests, I’ll have sophomore standing at the end of fall quarter. What does that mean, besides earlier registration?</p>
<p>You get to brag about having soph status :3</p>
<p>I’ll be junior status at the end of the next fall quarter (2nd year) :D</p>
<p>Oh and um, I remember that last year everyone checked their housing information on the Housing website</p>
<p>How about those late-night snacks: Should I stack up with snacks bought from, let’s say, Costco or should I just buy them at the various convenience stores around campus? </p>
<p>I would also like to keep some soy milk in the fridge (eeeuuww, I know, I know, but I’m extremely lactose intolerant…). Should I go to the grocery store before Move-In Day or should I wait and see? I won’t have a car so I thought about bringing along some goodies…</p>
<p>How far is the nearest grocery store? Is there a shuttle or bus?</p>
<p>the nearest store would be stater bros on blaine and chicago you can take the bus their. with snaks hit up the c store with them dining dollars but with milk bring your own , they never have milk they always run out</p>
<p>go to Scotty’s near Pentland</p>
<p>I’m considering on purchasing a wireless printer with refillable ink. Is there a place nearby where I could refill my cartridges?</p>
<p>not really, officemax i think is closest but its not that close from school(well if no car)</p>
<p>anyone know how much the gold parking permit is?</p>
<p>i can’t seem to find any info on the taps website -_-</p>
<p>I don’t have a car so until a befriend a car owner, could someone please help me with the following:</p>
<p>Is the public bus system pretty reliable to go shopping?</p>
<p>Where is the closest bus stop to campus?</p>
<p>Do many use Zipcars?</p>
<p>Is the train station far from campus?</p>
<p>I understand Stater Bros. is the closest grocery store but how far are Vons and Trader Joe’s? Does the bus route take you there?</p>
<p>Is there a Target nearby? Does the bus route take you there?</p>
<p>Thanks for your replies! :)</p>
<p>I think I can answer a few questions lol</p>
<p>The closest bus stop to campus is right in front of the school, but not exactly where it is. You should ask people around there, and you’ll find the closest one. it’s only 3minutes walk from campus : )</p>
<p>The train station is pretty far from campus. So, you’ll need to take the bus. just stay in the bus for about 20 minutes and it’ll take you to the metro: )</p>
