<p>I thought it would be cool to meet a couple people beforehand and maybe build up some hype for the trip.
(I'm excited b/c I've never been to Philly b4)</p>
<p>So, who's going? introduce yourself...</p>
<p>I'm Chris from Reno, Nevada. I like cats.</p>
<p>I'm James from Houston. Just confirmed my flight plans this afternoon. I'm a dog fan myself. I've never been outside of the Philadelphia airport either, so I'm also excited!</p>
<p>Were I to enroll at Swat, I'd probably pursue a Spanish major with a minor in Peace & Conflict Studies.</p>
<p>oh wow, neither of you are from the philly area, or even the east coast.</p>
<p>I'm Jenny and I have yet to confirm my reservation.
(I just happen to be in school during Swat's EST office hours. I'll prob call during lunch tom.)</p>
<p>When R U flying in? Are you going to arrive Friday night? Sat morning?</p>
<p>rhs06: "I like cats."</p>
<p>And I'm allergic to cats. Sry chris</p>
<p>I'm taking a red-eye flight Friday night to Saturday morning-6ish.</p>
<p>Hi I'm chris also. :)
I'm flying in on Saturday morning, taking a 7AM flight and arriving at Philly at around 11AM. I hope I can find my way around the airport there. Does anyone know what the airport is like?</p>
<p>I think they will send someone to get you from the airport
OR you'll be arriving w/ other Discov Weekend students
OR at least they'll send you a packet of what to do when u arrive</p>
<p>Does anyone know if there will be freetime when we could go to the city...? And maybe visit UPenn also? What other noteworthy colleges R there?</p>
<p>Hey, I'm Jimmy. I'm taking a 7AM-noon or so flight on Saturday morning. I was also wondering if there'd be time, maybe in the afternoon but before Discovery Weekend officially starts, to visit UPenn? Has this been done before? I have no idea how long the transportation would take, but does it seem feasible?</p>
<p>Regardless, I'm excited about the trip...anybody else who's going, feel free to IM me so we can get to know each other.</p>
<p>Jimmy, your question was answered here:
<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=102948%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=102948</a></p>
<p>Jimmy or anyone else who is interested in visiting Upenn either Saturday noon-ish(before registration starts) or Monday morning(when you can sit in on a class) email me: <a href="mailto:jennyz365@hotmail.com">jennyz365@hotmail.com</a>, or on MSN IM</p>
<p>And if your interested in going to the city, email me too. b/c i don't think discovery weekend will provide us with a tour of philadelphia.</p>
<p>I'm gonna be staying in Dana Hall with my host, Aleta (a Swat frosh).</p>
<p>Anyone else staying in Dana?</p>
<p>How did you find out who ur host is? Did you get an info packet in the mail?</p>
<p>I got a message from a Swat senior a few days ago, but he didn't say anything about me staying with him...</p>
<p>Jenny, I'll email you in a minute</p>
<p>He is probably ur host.</p>
<p>Before I had even RSVP-ed, Aleta(my host) emailed me last week, congratulating me for being accepted, encouraging me to attend, telling me about herself, etc.</p>
<p>I thought she might be my host, so I replied to her email and just asked her.</p>
<p>Well a dude also e-mailed me about getting into teh discovery weekend, but he said that he did not know the formatting for the trip or who would be my host...</p>
<p>I'm Yile, from Pittsburgh. I also had someone call me from Swat, my phone was a bit stacticy so it was hard for me to hear his e-mail address but it was something like achu1@swat? has anyone else talked to him? What are we suppose to pack?</p>
<p>has any1 recieved the info packet yet?</p>
<p>does it include our itinerary, what to pack(as Yile asked), etc...?</p>
<p>achu1 must be Arthur Chu.</p>
<p>they'll mail them out sooner or later i think.</p>
