<p>Sorry I have no idea where dbh is. Technically, skateboards are not allowed on campus at all. You can bring your board into class and put it in a corner or under your seat.</p>

<p>I can chance you once you have enough stats to base off of.</p>
<p>oh ok thanks jason appreciate dude</p>
<p>libertyskate93 and to all others</p>
<p>this year i have heard that DBH is Donald Bren Hall aka Bren Hall. That is number 314 on the uci map.</p>

<p>Ok this question is for anyone who knows not limited to Jason only. It sux cuz I have to walk across the park like if you see on the map from a 500 building to a 200 one. Is there any shortcut I could take to make it to class with only 10 minutes? I was late to class today so I was wondering if it's possible at all. Would you say it's faster the ring road to get there or cut across the park? Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>sweetdream:</p>
<p>cutting thru aldrich park is the fastest way to get to the place where you want. I suggest investing in a bike to ride on aldrich circle, and u will get there even faster. But if you are walking, just cutting straight across the grass is the fastest way.</p>
<p>how is vista del norte or campus village ? i dont have the option of dorms since im a transfer</p>
<p>Oh wow, my thread has been revived! </p>

<p>I'll give you a quick breakdown. If you have any more questions, ask me. Campus village is located on campus (next to biosci and physical science buildings). It's VERY convenient to live there. VDC (both regular and Norte) have larger, newer, and nicer apartments, including facilities. However, VDC is far away with a bus that comes every 10 minutes (it's usually packed though). I think it's a 20-30 minute walk from campus to VDC. I would lean towards VDC for many reasons. Keep in mind parties are rampant at VDC.</p>
<p>thank you for replying man. Im looking for a place where i can meet some people and have some fun and drink without police bothering me. Also, How far is vdc norte from the ICS building and the gym.</p>
<p>crazykumar:</p>
<p>VDC is the closest you can get to the gym. It's walkable from there, but it isn't THAT close. The ICS building is on campus, so that would mean VDC Norte is not anywhere nearby it. The Irvine police is everywhere...so it doesn't matter where you are haha. Live in an actual house for something like that :].</p>
<p>alright cool. so you think campus village will be better for social life since its closer to campus ?</p>
<p>I plan on transferring to UCI in Spring 2009 for Civil Engineering. How is UCI's Engineering program? Civil Engineering program? Being an engineering major, you know that it requires a lot of studying, what's your typical day like at UCI? Since I will be a junior-transfer, will I be able to live on campus?</p>
<p>crazykumar:</p>
<p>actually i would say that VDC or VDC Norte are better for social life. Living at CV, is kind of boring and dull, and even though it is on campus and close to the math and science departments, there isn't a lot of interactions with your neighbors or anyone else in the community. If you are looking for a social kind of lifestyle, then look into either VDC, they will fit ur needs much better.</p>
<p>thats brother. i think thats what i will do</p>
<p>UCI</a> Testing Office</p>
<p>this website says following for me:
-If your major is Chemistry, Math or Physics take the Physics test only to skip Physics 7A and enroll in Physics 7B.
and im chem major...and took regular physics class at my high school(my school does not offer neither honor physics nor ap..)</p>
<p>would you suggest me to study for physics and skip 7A??</p>
<p>It depends how well-versed you are in physics. If you think you know physics pretty well, take the test. If you don't, then don't.</p>
<p>Worst case: You pass the test and struggle in 7B.</p>
<p>If you just need a refresher on mechanics, take the test. If you need to study extensively, don't.</p>
<p>is 7A considered one of remedial classese??or is it a freshmen "real" college class(AP level)?
it has been 2~3years since i took physics...which was my soph year...</p>
<p>thank you for the help...</p>
<p>dnduswo:</p>
<p>Physics 7A is what pretty much what you would have taken in High school as your Physics AP class. The only difference is that this is a bit more challenging and a little bit more indepth than the AP Physics you would have taken. Plus this physics is similiar to the AP Physics C class which had to derive and integrate problems using calculus, while the AP Phyiscs B class had all the calculus done for them. This is not a remedial class in the least bit. This class will cover everything you did in a year in your high school physics class in about 3 or 4 weeks.</p>
<p>7a is not a remedial class.</p>
<p>I disagree with kadya though. It covers about 3 months of what you would cover in HS imo. Only very little calculus is needed (1 year would be nice to have though).</p>
<p>ShoeFactory:</p>
<p>i think the amount cover is dependent based off the high school teachers and how well they taught. we had okay teachers. I took AP phyics, but the B test instead of C, so everything we covered in AP was in each of the the 7 series classes, but the & series goes way more indepth than what my AP class went. And my AP class went wayyyy more indepth than the regular physcis class, which was a real joke at my school. so my judgement is proboly biased on that topic :)</p>

<p>UCI has an emphasis on engineering just like any other UC. Civil engineering is popular here with professors that have worked on projects all around OC. The typical day of an engineer is like it would be anywhere else. You can easily fit in a social life, but you'll be working harder than any other major. The typical day cannot easily be described since everyone is different. You should be able to live on campus somewhere as a transfer. I'm not entirely sure about that so prepare to live in an apartment somewhere.</p>
