<p>Topic. I don't know if I need to go buy one or not.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Why not use outlook instead?</p>
<p>I won't be carrying my laptop around with me all the time</p>
<p>OMG!!!Someone else thinks about this too! Great thread...anyone aware please answer. Bump. 10 char</p>
<p>Most of the newer cellphones have outlook, but they can be expensive.</p>
<p>They did last year. You get to your dorm, you get this little welcome packet with a nice student planner. Don't know if they'll do it this year, but I'd wait to purchase.</p>
<p>Waiting4College - Smart minds think alike, no?</p>
<p>Ektaylor - Ah I see, unfortunately mine doesn't =( looks like I'll have to go with plain old pen and paper</p>
<p>Beatchick - Gotcha. Btw, the first time we get to see our dorms will be during welcome week? Or is there some other prior event at which we will get to see our dorm and/or roommate that I am unaware of?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone.</p>
<p>tell us more about the welcome packet</p>
<p>what other free stuff do we get :D</p>
<p>aw man i bought one from target teh other day and already started writing in it... damn wasted 3 bux hahaha</p>
<p>My ancient piece of crap cell phone has a calendar feature.</p>
<p>yea i heard we get a free planner too..</p>
<p>lol yaya ay</p>
<p>yes they give them to you in a welcome packet with the dorms. if you are not living in the dorms or through a university program housing, then you can also buy berkeley planners that are similar for around $5 from ned's or the cal student store. i tend to like these ones better than the ones you can buy at places like target or staples because the ones in berkeley have berkeley-specific events (ie. sporting events, no school days, big berkeley events, etc.)</p>
<p>what other goodies do we get =)</p>
<p>Not much else except for flyers and a CD with software for rescomp. I've learned that Berkeley doesn't give out much. Caltopia is nice but only gives you so little.</p>
<p>What's caltopia?</p>
<p>Ya know, a quick google search would've saved you the time you spent posting this response.</p>
<p>Whoa its on a move in day how convenient</p>
<p>It's also on Monday :)</p>
<p>You can get a lot of free stuff at Calapalooza also.</p>
<p>This Caltopia is a pretty big deal by the looks of it, Calapalooza looks like a "Welcome Day" type dealie.</p>
<p>There is a counter on the bottom of the page and that corresponds with the move in day for people in doubles. whoa</p>
