<p>At boy’s state, we had 11 hours total to spread over the week…(that was at Jester and during the 1st orientation session)</p>
<p>^ that sounds about right</p>
<p>“I choked”</p>
<p>That’s what she said.</p>
<p>^hahahahahahahahaha! I remember that!</p>
<p>If i signed up to take some placement exams, but it turns out i cant take them ( plan ii has a breakfast which conflicts 
What do i do? If i just dont take them, i dont have to pay right? And WHO should be taking the Math exam? does AP credit count for calc or do i need to take the math exam to see which calc class i should be placed in?</p>
<p>so a private bath would be more suitable if you don’t like walking in towel down the hall? not to say I am so ashamed I can’t but it’ll be bit new experience I guess… Which one gives less trouble?</p>
<p>the private one would give the least trouble but they’re really hard to get. you could always just change in the showers instead of walking back to your room.</p>
<p>ikari, as far as the placement tests, they are all really useful if you can take them, but it’s not the end of the world if you can’t. (not sure if it’s worth it to miss testing for a plan II breakfast though…) Also, you don’t actually get charged for the tests until after you’ve taken them, so you’re ok there. </p>
<p>as far as the math credits go, you can find it on this website:[AP</a> Cut Scores](<a href=“http://www.utexas.edu/academic/mec/cbe/cutape.html]AP”>http://www.utexas.edu/academic/mec/cbe/cutape.html)</p>
<p>It’s not a “Plan II breakfast,” it’s mandatory orientation for Plan II. If you don’t go, you won’t get a World Lit and TC class.</p>
<p>Testing is offered multiple times per year.</p>
<p>Will arriving at 11 AM or maybe later be too late for the orientation checkin or campus tours?</p>
<p>wonder if people will keep using the phrase “its not the end of the world” in 2012 …lol just for thought…dont rain on me</p>
<p>SprintUser,
That’s a little late for check-in. 11 AM would be cutting it close, but I’m sure you’d be just fine. Later might be bad. You’d definitely miss campus tours. Is there a reason you’d be arriving so late? Arriving with everyone else definitely makes it easier on you.</p>
<p>Why Sprint?</p>
<p>To NXT:</p>
<p>Private bathrooms are convenient, certainly. But they’re also more expensive. I was freaked out about public ones as well before I went to college, but it really ended up being sort of a non-issue. Just get a shower-caddy you like and everything’s fine. The showers are really quite clean. They get cleaned daily. I got used to the whole thing pretty quickly. Just don’t do what my roommate did: using ONLY the shower caddy for genital concealment while walking down the hall. LOL. Don’t worry, you won’t see that anywhere else. The '07 Andrews 3rd floor experience was one-in-a-million.</p>
<p>One thing that I thought was important was having a sink in your room. Having one is WAY more convenient than not having one. I had one both years I was in the dorms, but my girlfriend and best friend both didn’t. I thought that was really weird. Of course I’d take a decent smelling living environment over running water any day. Jester has in-room sinks, but most floors have an odd smell to them. Maybe you get used to it after a while, I don’t know.</p>
<p>Ikari,
If you feel you did well on your AP calc test, then you should get all the credit you need from there and be appropriately placed. So, I wouldn’t worry about the placement test, especially if you have a Plan II event. Plan II is fairly different from others’ UT experiences and it’s good to hear everything the Plan II program has to say at orientation.</p>
<p>Givings,
Laptops are certainly useful during orientation, for doing research for your schedule. But yeah, there’s a time limit. As for connection, different laptops are able to connect in different places. Over the past couple years, I’ve found that my laptop can pick up a connection anywhere on campus that I have ever tried, but that’s fairly uncommon. Still, wi-fi access is fairly convenient on-campus. Once you get your high-assurance EID or whatever they call it, your time limit problem should disappear. If you do run out of allotted time, it’ll be easier to go to the library across the street than look for wi-fi somewhere else. At my orientation, I became friends with my O.A. and just used his laptop, as I recall…I wonder what ever happened to that guy.</p>
<p>SmoothieMan,</p>
<p>I’ll be driving to Austin so it will take several hours. I guess I would have to leave really early to make it on time. How early do you think I should arrive in order to get a tour and check in?</p>
<p>Check in can take around half an hour from when you get into Jester. Then you have to lug your stuff up to your room, and you’ll probably have a mandatory wing meeting at some point that afternoon.</p>
<p>You can get a campus tour but it’s not going to be anything really useful. It will just show you major buildings on campus, and won’t be tailored to you. You can find the same info out from a map.</p>
<p>theloneranger’s got it right, as usual. lol. It makes me wonder, who IS that guy? It’s like he works for UT or something. Anyhooz, I’d just say BEFORE 11 would probably be a good idea. You’ll probably want some lunch, after all. And it’s true that the tour will not be tailored to you. However, you might get aquainted with campus faster this way, more so than a map can provide since you’ll actually see the buildings that you will later be visiting. But this is all it really offers. Either way, you probably won’t get too lost at orientation. The maps they give you are very good.</p>
<p>Nope, I’m just a sophomore know-it-all! LOL</p>
<p>Ah yes, I just figured that out from another thread. It was mostly your comment on ResNet THEFT!! that surprised me. Your comment was just so ridiculously PC. I found that suspicious. lol.</p>
