<p>I'm from San Jose. My orientation date, since it was a late reservation, fell under July 21st. I don't happen to have a ride and was wondering if anyone around the area of San Jose has space?</p>
<p>Thanks.
If anything email, <a href="mailto:ericdnguyen92@gmail.com">ericdnguyen92@gmail.com</a></p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
<p>If you don’t get a ride you can take the highway 17 bus at diridon station. It’ll lead to downtown santa cruz metro station. Then you can take a bus to campus from there. It might take around 45/50 minutes if there’s no traffic. Just wanted to give you the information in case you can’t find a ride.</p>
<p>thanks so much =]</p>
<p>FWIW: I’d budget closer to an hour and a half via bus.</p>
<p>you can also look for rides on [url=<a href=“http://zimride.ucsc.edu/]Zimride[/url”>http://zimride.ucsc.edu/]Zimride[/url</a>]</p>
<p>Question about orientation.
So if our parents our taking me, but just dropping me off, am I most likely going to be alone during orientation? Or will I find other alone people?</p>
<p>you’ll find other people. i highly doubt everyone will be with their parents cause i wont be. =] goodluck</p>
<p>i’m going with my dad but i kno a few people who are going by themselves so i’m sure you’ll be fine. plus a lot of it we have to do on our own anyway.</p>
<p>They actually separate the parents and students after the beginning ceremony. The parents go on a parent’s tour while you go to meetings with your college’s advisors and then a meeting based on major. After that, parents and students get back together to eat lunch. I went by myself and had a really fun time/met great people.</p>
