Is this a well-attended event and what actually happens that weekend? Is it necessary to go both days? I’m not sure I can make it. Any information is appreciated. Thanks.
Honestly, it’s a good opportunity to visit with your kid but otherwise there really wasn’t much going on that we hadn’t seen at tours etc. We ended up having our daughter come stay at our hotel one night, and the next night we took her and a friend to dinner and that’s basically it.
Agree with @Momof7thgrader: Went when my son was in his Freshman year only. My niece tagged along since she was interested in applying for the following year, so it was helpful for her to see the campus and we did attend the football to give her the overall campus experience. I would have preferred visiting on a less crowded weekend and enjoying more the San Diego sights.
So what’s the tailgate like? They are charging $17/person to attend it but they give no indication of menu or drinks. If it’s just hot dogs, chips and a soda, I’ll be so disappointed!
