<p>Sup fellow UC Davis prospects.</p>
<p>I'm trying to plan a trip to UC Davis from Los Angeles. We can go to Decision UC Davis, check out off-campus housing, and whatever else.</p>
<p>What I'm gonna do is rent a car and drive up to UC Davis. So that leaves 3 or 4 extra seats. If you're interested, private message me your phone number.</p>
<p>Car rental is going to cost $70 bucks for 3 days(same price for 2 days, I fond a coupon). I'll rent Thursday night, leave early morning Friday, return Saturday/Sunday. </p>
<p>Total trip will be around 900 miles. With ~25-30 MPG and gas at ~$4.00 a gallon, gas will be about $120-$150.</p>
<p>A cheap motel in Sacramento will be about $50 bucks a night. So $100 if you want to stay two nights there.</p>
<p>$70+150+$100 = $320 and then we'll split it evenly.</p>
<p>post if you want to go and private message me your phone number as well.</p>
<p>Let me know ASAP so I can get the best prices for the car and motel.</p>
<p>Why not just take a train to Davis?!</p>
<p>one way train only is already 92 bucks (13 hour trip). 60 bucks if you wanna take bus + train (6 hours). also doesn’t include motel. </p>
<p>double those prices to get round trip.</p>
<p>If you’re leaving early morning Friday, you’ll reach Davis when the event is already almost over.</p>
<p>what time does it start? couldn’t find any info on start time. </p>
<p>if that is the case, we can leave on thursday.</p>
<p>thanks chewey!</p>
<p>we’ll leave thursday evening then?</p>
<p>Damn I would be so down to go with you guys but school is preventing me. Have fun guys.</p>
<p>bump. one person has already pm’ed me.</p>
<p>we’ll probably be leaving home Saturday night.</p>
<p>why not just wait till the orientation? it’s better i suppose.</p>
<p>I’m assuming some people will want to visit UC Davis before submitting their SIR. I’ve never been to the campus myself.</p>
<p>NEW PLAN is to leave Thursday evening and come home Saturday evening arriving in LA at aroundw 12am.</p>
<p>new price will be $270 split evenly because we’ll leave Saturday evening. you down cosmic bubble?</p>
<p>whoops. price is still $320 since we’ll need a motel for thursday night now.</p>
<p>hmm i’m contemplating going now if its us 3 that would be around 107 dollars a person. I’ll get back to you on this. Where do you live btw?</p>
<p>I live in koreatown/silverlake. It’d be great if you can join us!</p>
<p>Better check if they will let an 18 year old rent a car without extra fees because you are not 25 years or older.
Check if the rental have a mileage limit for the 3 day weekend.
When you turn the car in ask an agent to do an inspection so you won’t be charged for dings they find later.
Worth getting the all clear.</p>

<p>I have it all covered. $70 bucks total for a 3-day weekend rental. I have a coupon to waive the underage fee.</p>
<p>Cool I live in boyle heights l</p>
<p>So its like 12 min on the 101. I need to get a hold of the money first will tell you soon</p>
<p>Just a heads up, I’m from Pomona (SGV) and have taken the trip a few times…it will cost about 150-175 up and back. I’m in Berkeley now and gas here is around 4.39+/-</p>
<p>My car gets roughly 21/22mpg on the freeway.</p>
<p>anyone else would like to join us?</p>
