CalSO 6/9/2011 Roll Call

<p>Officially registered. So the CARS thing means we don’t have to pay until we start our Fall semester?</p>

<p>santacruz - i purposely tried to pick courses that were only like 50%-75% full so i would have a better chance of getting them. i made a pretty decent schedule actually…managed to score no classes on frifri!</p>

<p>and datransfer, it was actually never even on mychecklist thing. but now that i finished it, its with the “completed” items</p>

<p>my SLR is still at the top of my to do list though…even though i did it the night I got accepted… -___________-</p>

<p>Wierd… At least I can still update my course choices!</p>

<p>yeppp me dos! have you done housing yet datransfer? if so, what are your preferences?</p>

<p>edit: and does anybody else find the fact that we have to do a violence prevention wkshop sketchy…?</p>

<p>also, do we get to make our Cal 1 card at orientation??</p>

<p>I’m still unsure of what to choose for housing…</p>

<p>Where is this housing form you guys speak of?? Or are you guys just making a list of preferences??</p>

<p>It should appear on your checklist in your myBerkeleyApplication. Have you SIRed yet? If not, you won’t be able to apply for housing.</p>

<p>Yeah I SIR’d and made my CalMail address. I clicked myChecklist but I don’t see anything in regards to housing. </p>

<p>Is that the same thing??</p>

<p>For future students who might read this and find this information useful… I just registered for the 6/9 (first) CalSO date and it was still available. Therefore I’m assuming they don’t fill up TOO fast so don’t stress.</p>

<p>Are we all going to try to meet up at CalSO? I really want to get to know everyone!</p>

<p>we should get some drinks during orientation too</p>

<p>That’s what I’m saying nero!</p>

<p>Lol the CalSO info says specifically not to have alc/drugs during orientation. I wonder if it’s been a problem in the past…</p>

<p>aw I’m going on the 15th cause I thought I’d need a little time to get settled into the city and find a job first. And I am of age… :)</p>

<p>I’m just saying the night before I am going to go out for dinner and drinks before I sleep in some dorm room. We should have a meet up of people going the night before.</p>

<p>heyy, I’m headin up to Calso on 6/9 too from Socal, would anyone be interested in flying up there together from Long Beach Airport on the 8th? I figure it’d be cool if we were going up with a fellow CCer :)</p>

<p>Brian</p>

<p>My friend and I are also most likely flying up but we haven’t really looked into particular flights yet but I think we wanted to leave in the morning on the 8th so we can look at some off-campus places to live. What flight are you taking? And LB flies direct right? I noticed John Wayne only has connecting flights…</p>

<p>Ya, via JetBlue there are non stop round trip flights for about $138 it seems. From LAX to San Fran its about $120 so I’m figuring that its worth the $20 to avoid that nightmare of an airport haha. I’m thinking about taking the 5pm flight.

<p>6/9 filled up last sunday. I remember looking in the morning and it was still open and then trying to register in the afternoon and it was closed.</p>

<p>I contacted the CalSO rep and asked if I could be moved to the 9th because my coworker and I were both admitted to the same department (Rhetoric) and had asked for/received that day off. </p>

<p>See you all on the 9th! Bright and early, I’ll be getting up at 5ish.</p>

<p>yay I’m glad it filled up…the more the merrier!</p>

<p>i wish i knew where i was living before orientation though…or actually, i wish the housing app would close after orientations were over, so i could be 1001% sure of my housing prefs.</p>
