<p>Hey everybody, I'm in a bit of a panic right now because first year orientation is in about a week, and I just read about applying for a Bruin Card.</p>
<p>The orientation website wanted students to bring their Bruin Card, but I haven't sent in anything to apply for the card yet, and it says it takes about 5 weeks to complete.</p>
<p>So, what happens? Do I just go cardless, or can I get one there?</p>
<p>most people don't have one. when you get there that's the first thing you do. you'll wait in a rather long line while filling out a survey, and when they take your picture, your OC will give it to you in a couple hours. you need it for the three days you are there (food, access to buildings/elevator, etc)</p>
<p>don't worry about it</p>
<p>You'll get it there on the first day.</p>
<p>yea you just have to wait in a longass line</p>
<p>OK then, thanks for the speedy responses guys!</p>
<p>just get there early and the line wont be that bad</p>
