<p>Hello everyone. What are you guys doing to prepare for COSMOS? For example are you buying anything? I know I need to buy a fan.

<p>@dsi411 not really… just buying some clothes. Watch me procrastinate lol and u </p>
<p>@exl028 Someone said I should bring a frisbee so I might get one of those. I also need a swimsuit since apparently we might go to the beach on the weekends. And I need clothes of course.</p>
<p>@dsi411 I definitely need to buy some summer clothes and shoes; not much of the stuff I have is suited for plus 90 degree weather. Barring that though, there isn’t really anything special I need to do, and I’m still not sure if I should bring my athletic gear or a bike with me. I’ll probably decide everything the last week of June.</p>
<p>@dsi411 I’m thinking of bringing a small fan. The dorms supposedly have AC but it couldn’t hurt on warm nights. </p>
<p>Hey guys!!! I’m really late to the thread but I just got an email saying I was taken off the wait list for the biomedical cluster at UCI!!! I am so thrilled to have been accepted but I already paid a small deposit to go to a Stanford summer institute in bioscience/biotechnology at the same time. I can back out of Stanford but am hesitant to lose the money I put down!! Can anyone compare the two camps or tell me why I should choose one over the other?? Thanks so much in advance (:</p>
<p>@nearea The dorms at UCSD don’t have air conditioning so I have to bring a really good fan. Hopefully my roommate brings one too.
@nutmegtp For me the deciding factor would be price so it depends who you are. Distance may also be important. </p>
<p>@dsi411 I’m thinking of buying a fan because the dorms have no AC D:</p>

<p>@enchantedflower I’m definitely buying a fan, which campus are you going to again?
@mintcholol8 Cool, an 8th grader. Too bad you aren’t gonna be at UCSD like me.</p>
<p><em>edit</em> I copied and pasted the form thing w/ all the information (where I was accepted, etc.), so I forgot to change some information. In case anyone was wondering, I am half Hawaiian and half Indian (so the information wasn’t totally wrong) and was accepted at UCSC.</p>
<p>@dsi411 yeah, I am in eighth grade. I was so surprised that I was accepted, since the website itself says being accepted in eighth grade is very difficult. I can’t wait though, COSMOS is a once in a lifetime experience (literally too, since we can only apply once)! </p>
<p>@dsi411 UCI</p>
<p>Hi everyone.</p>
<p>Hey! @dsi411 </p>
<p>Does anyone have any suggestions for what to bring to UCSC or have any suggestions in general?</p>
<p>This is urgent…is anyone here going to UCSD COSMOS? If so, do you know the specific address we are supposed to go to? Not the general address for UCSD, I mean the specific address that’ll lead to the ERC dorms where the check-in is?</p>
<p>@FanofFrozen @stressinnnnn @iamdwang @Anjelly @minmin123 Could any of you help me with the above? ^</p>
<p>Never mind, sorry everyone.</p>
<p>Is everyone ready?</p>
<p>@FanofFrozen @stressinnnnn @iamdwang @Anjelly @minmin123 How did everyone enjoy COSMOS?
Is there anything important on the facebook page? If so can anyone post it here?</p>
