<p>Anyone else feel nervous that they wont be able to find their classes on the first day of school? i could barely find manzanita village on the map even though thats where orientation was (my sense of direction sucks i know) -___- </p>
<p>If you want to find me at sb, just look for the clueless guy walking on the bike path while looking at a map stopping random strangers for directions lol.</p>
<p>…We have a few days after we move in before class starts. I’m sure you’ll do fine once you find your classes the first time.</p>
<p>Im nervous about exactly the same thing lol dont worry youre not alone! I’ll probably just use the days before that thursday to make sure where my classes are.</p>
<p>Ive been here for a year (on sept 15th) & i still dont know my way around… people are cool tho, if they see you looking at those large billboard/map things then someone (twice) has asked if i needed help finding anything. Turns out the LSB is NOT the “Letters & Science Building” it actually stands for the “Life Sciences Building.” Sweaty & late to my first class on the first day of fall quarter, couldn’t imagine a better start to a new year.</p>
<p>it’s my fourth year here and i still don’t know where everything is.</p>
<p>just give yourself extra time to get to lecture on the first day & print out your schedule and a map.</p>
<p>^^that scares me.</p>
<p>I wasn’t too worried about it at first because I thought I could use the first few days to explore and find out where everything is…but i guess a few days isn’t enough lol</p>
<p>awww that’s adorable. It’s not too confusing, but the maps are a little confusing. Like, they make it look like Ellings hall is suuuper far away from the DLG when it’s really not too bad.</p>
<p>the campus isnt very big at all. it’s hard to get lost once you know where a few of the buildings are, especially when you have a map…and i dont even go there yet…</p>
<p>the key is to know your north/south/east/west…like if youre near elings hall and you face away from the ocean, you are facing west</p>
<p>I wrote a set of tips you can see at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-los-angeles/384364-some-tips-succeeding-ucla-2007-edition.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-los-angeles/384364-some-tips-succeeding-ucla-2007-edition.html</a> and pretty much all of it applies to UCSB too. And tip #2 is to walk to your classes before school starts so you know where they are. You might find some other useful tips for you in it as well.</p>
