<p>Congrats you guys! :)</p>
<p>Just a question for all of you guys from Cali! Why do you want to leave and come to Washington? I’m from WA and I wanna get down to CA haha but that’s just me</p>
<p>@an6rew: i’m from CA and i just want to go somewhere different. I’ve never lived in the city; i grew up in a beach community. Change of scenery and the weather will make me get out of my “element” a bit :)</p>
<p>@an6rew: I grew up in the bayarea of Cali. Nothing too exciting happens around here… just a bunch of people who study hard in school. going to UW would be a nice change of scenery for 4 years even though it rains 3/4 of the year haha.</p>
<p>I guess I’m feelin’ the same way, WA is the most beautiful place with tons to do, I just want to get away!! You guys would love it here for sure</p>
<p>@an6rew I live by the beach in a really good community with really nice neighbors. Life is almost too perfect, so after awhile, you get used to the setting. It would be nice to have a change for awhile, so when I come back home, it will feel like a vacation instead of just “coming back home”. Also, I think it would be interesting. I still have to visit the school, but from the stuff I’m reading and seeing from pictures, it looks very intriguing.</p>
<p>Where are all of you guys located? I want to go to either USC, Santa Clara, Cal Poly, or Arizona… So for me the vacation is during the entire school year 
Then I come back home to the beautiful NW!</p>
<p>Has any OOS admits received their welcome packets yet? I am in Az and haven’t gotten it:(</p>
