Bay Area UC admissions party

<p>Good idea tallkell. You should start a thread for it.</p>

<p>Ok guys, we need ideas.</p>

<p>Maybe we could all go to CalSO on the same day and then party that night?</p>

<p>wsup guys, do you guys all know eachother or are you guys doing this so we all make friends and have a good transition towards Cal? Kus im going to be completely alone if I come up there and it would be nice to make some friends for the 2 years im up there.</p>

<p>Hey, is there any way we can all make a collective campus visit? I'm hoping to tour UC berkeley sometime next week.</p>

<p>We've spent so much time together here on college confidential it's hard not to know each other!</p>

<p>how about jupiter? <a href="http://www.jupiterbeer.com/berkeley/index.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.jupiterbeer.com/berkeley/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>it's a chill spot with lots of outdoor seating. good beer, good pizza, good atmosphere.</p>

<p>after finals is preferable for me...say end of may/early june.</p>

<p>If there is a bar get-together I vote sometime after June 8th (my 21st)</p>

<p>I am going up there this weekend. WOO!</p>

<p>After that, who knows... but probably as often as possible. So as long as it's after my finals (June 8th) and I get some notice (so I can request time off of work -- 2 weeks prior) count me in, NorCal or SoCal. ^^</p>

<p>After June 16th!! (my 21st too)</p>

<p>sounds like a plan.... ehh i wont be 21 until jan23.... such a long wait.</p>

<p>Sorry to intrude on your little bay area orgie but I've got a question.</p>

<p>I was planning on going up to Cal on the 13th, but I'm not sure how this BART thing works. </p>

<p>From what it looks like you buy a card with credit on it and take the train you need to get there. Is there a way to get from the airport to BART?
Is there anything else I need (transportation wise) other than BART and a plane ticket (and maybe a taxi to get to the station [are taxis even used alot there?])?
Is the bus system good enough to take me from a motel to Berkeley and back?</p>

<p>Get-together on the 23rd! I'm definitely going up (to the bay area) after graduation.</p>

<p>I wanna come! I'm from the Walnut creek/San ramon area...about 45 minutes from UCB.</p>

<p>jjust let me know when the final date is and ill try to come guys</p>

<p>If you're coming in from SFO, the BART station is at the airport. If you're coming in from Oakland International, I think the easiest thing to do is take a bus to the Oakland Coliseum stop. <a href="http://www.bart.gov%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bart.gov&lt;/a> is your best bet to plan it out.</p>

<p>I would definitely suggest taking BART as opposed to busses or taxis. Everything's too far to conveniently use a taxi, and I hate the inter-city bus system.</p>

<p>lets get together first week(end) of july or something. im doing summer sessions at berkk so itd be super convenient for me, if you guys are down.</p>

<p>if ur coming in from oakland, bart isn't that bad...u have to take a bus to get to the bart station...</p>

<p>Ok, we need some kind of official vote. Remember this party is to celebrate moving on with our lives more than the specific schools we may or may not have been accepted to. We don't want to bum people out who didn't get accepted to their top choice.
Post your answers to these questions and then I'll tally them up and we can figure it out from there. This might be a bad way of doing it, but I can't think of a better one at the moment. </p>

<ol>
<li>Preferred day of the week</li>
<li>Preferred date</li>
<li>Date you CAN'T come</li>
<li>Preferred venue (bar, restaurant, hotel, park, beach, dumpster, etc. new ideas are welcomed)</li>
<li>Are you 21? (If enough people are just about to turn 21, we can probably wait a few extra weeks. Otherwise, we can gather somewhere more private or where you don't have to be 21 to enter.)</li>
</ol>

<p>1) No preference
2) No preference, except #3
3) Before June 15th
4) No preference
5) Ugh, no. November. ;_;</p>

<p>im down for whenever ust tell me in advance so my plane ticket is not a ****load</p>
