<p>I'm not quite understanding how this works. We check in at Sproul Hall, then what? are we going to be spending the entire 3 days in a rez hall or something? thx in advance</p>

2

<p>two nights, unless you're paying the $50 for extra nights. We'll be staying in Rieber Vista.</p>

3

<p>should we be bringing like toothbrushes, lotta clothes, whatever? </p>

<p>by the way, what do most orientation people do at NIGHT and after the orientation sessions each day?</p>

4

<p>i take it you should bring all your toiletries and such unless you want to have bad hygiene</p>

<p>Here's the list that they gave us, for things to bring:

<p>I'm guessing people socialize with their 3 day roommate and new friends? Or maybe they walk around campus... you can probably do anything you want on campus. As for me, I'm bringing my badminton gear because I love badminton and they have open gyms on Tuesday nights. :D</p>

6

<p>Badminton is awesome. I challenge you, sofakingwangsta. :)</p>

7

<p>Is it a okay if we're a bit late?</p>

<p>I'll arive @ LAX around 7:30 AM, and even though the schedule says 8:45, I'm pretty sure that 8:00 is the official check-in time, right?</p>

<p>Anyone up for tennis??? :)</p>

8

<p>haha ok dragon17, bring it on! Are you going to the first orientation?</p>

9

<p>I'm sure that anytime before 9:00am would be alright, especially with your situation. However, I would strongly suggest taking a taxi from LAX since that is the quickest form of transportation.</p>

<p>I love tennis (big tennis & badminton).</p>

10

<p>Save your energy for the Orientation itself... :rolleyes:</p>

11

<p>anyone know how to play lacrosse? i have a little two stick set that i can bring. I personally don't know how to play, but i want to.. so ive pretty much been BS'ing my way through it with my friends who also dont know how to play, lol.</p>

12

<p>I accept, Flopsy. Do you know if I can play during the open gym on Tuesday night? Because my orientation's monday-wed (jul 10-12)</p>
