Orientation: Does anyone know when in July...?

<p>hello!</p>

<p>Yes, I know that I probably will be receiving orientation information in the coming week(s). (end of may and early June, I believe)
But for now it is crucial that I find out when the July freshman orientation will be taking place so my family can coordinate when they're going on their summer vacation (so I can come with them of course :) !)
Or if not for them for me because then I need to figure how the heck I'm going to get down LA. If anyone has received anything from orientation snail mail please tell me! thanks! :)</p>

<p>I have the same dilemma. My parents nag at me every day to find out when the orientation days are and I keep saying "Nobody knows yet!!!"</p>

<p>Honestly, I think it's pretty lame that they haven't released them yet. It's almost June, and a lot of us have to make plans. It's not like it takes a lot of work to just release dates!!!</p>

<p>yep, yep. my parents are nagging me as well! But it's even more absurd because they have EVERYTHING ELSE posted online!</p>

<p>Someone posted the dates on Facebook a while ago. She was on campus and UCLA gave her a sheet with the session dates, but nothing else:</p>

<p>101 July 11-13
102 July 18-20
103 July 24-26
104 July 27-29
105 August 2-4
106 August 9-11
107 August 15-17
108 August 21-23
109 August 24-26
110 August 29-31</p>

<p>I saw that list... dunno how credible it is though</p>

<p>I wish they could schedule a date in late June!</p>

<p>those dates are probably accurate. Apparently there are 10 sessions... but UCLA is the only UC without 2005 orientation DATES posted...

<p>yes. UCLA's tardiness is getting on my nerves</p>

<p>HEY!!! that was me that got the dates from UCLA..haha glad the info helped out people ^_^ </p>

<p>p.s. im pretty sure they're accurate since they themselves were handing out the papers and they even told me which session to sign up for in case i was doing a summer program</p>

<p>they also said not to worry too much if you get a late orientation because even though you will have a later pick of classes after a couple of the first orienations they will close some classes and wont open them back up until the later orientations so everyone will get a fair shot........at least thats what i was told ........they could be lying.....haha</p>

<p>Yeah Thank You! I just hope that they're right, but then again why wouldn't they be :)</p>

<p>Bruinbee09, u better hope u r right. I told my parents of those dates u gave and they have everything planned. so if u r incorrect somehow, I will be blaming it all on u and u alone. (I will sue u, provided that u give me ur contact info).</p>

11

<p>how much is orientation? also do you have the choice of no meals/no lodge to save money if u dont need it</p>

12

<p>its about 340 i think.......and i dont know bout the no lodge and meals ..sorrie :(..</p>

13

<p>wow every other UC seems to be around $185</p>

14

<p>yeah, even Cal's is like $140...what makes UCLA so special that its like twice the cost of other schools? -__-"</p>

15

<p>are all the other UCs 3-night stays? feels like im being conned... that darn orientation better be the BEST!!!</p>

<p>oh btw, has anyone got their housing package yet?..</p>

16

<p>I know for a fact that Cal's is only a day and a half...don't know about the other UC's</p>
