<p>Here is a thread where you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>ask questions about the HSSEAS Open House</li>
<li>discuss your plans (going/not going)</li>
<li>meet other students who will be attending.</li>
<li>not ask about the engineering letter and chances of being admitted</li>
</ul>
<p>Here are a few...
1) What kind of things can we expect to see/learn about? ie. how does the open house proceed? I'm sure there's some kind of a campus tour involved, but what other things will be part of it?
2) What are some suggestions to get the most out of the open house?
3) What do you think will be some of the more exciting parts of the open house (I'm really looking forward top it)?</p>
<p>Here is the agenda:
<a href="http://seasoasa.ucla.edu/openhouse/oh_agenda2007.html%5B/url%5D">http://seasoasa.ucla.edu/openhouse/oh_agenda2007.html</a></p>
<p>Can arrangements be made through the school to spend Sat night in a dorm (as happens at smaller, LACs' Admitted Student sessions) or is it pretty much 9:30-4 on Sunday?</p>

<li><p>Meet people (or try to). :)</p></li>
<li><p>Sitting in Royce Hall. Listening to the engineering speakers (if you are very passionate about engineering). Tour of the housing (where you will be living next year!). The vibe UCLA gives you.</p></li>

<p>I would believe not. The dorms are full at UCLA; you will need to make reservations at a hotel if you are visiting from far, or other accomodations.</p>
<p>That's why they sent out admissions early so you can plan for these things.</p>
<p>if you know anyone who currently attends UCLA, i'd advise trying to stay with them. one of my friends did that last year while he was visiting (he's an engineering major too, but i don't recall if it was during the open house) and it left him with many favorable impressions that helped him decide to come here. even though pretty much all of us are in triples, i'm sure you can find someone who will let you stay for a night and give you a good experience of what life is like in the dorms.</p>
<p>^^^When I came to College Honors Day, I stayed the night before in a friend's double in Sproul Hall. If you can, then it's a fun option and you also get to talk to current students.</p>

<p>Oops, an addendum. As others state, your best option is to stay at a current student's room.</p>
<p>If you do not know anyone from UCLA, you are welcome to sleep in my floor's lounge. I believe no one will be there on a Saturday night. :D</p>
<p>Hey Boelter, will you be a housing tour guide for this? ;)</p>
<p>^ hehe, I think Boelter should be a tour guide
and you too moldau :P I remember I was the only female in my housing tour group so I got a nice tour of the guys bathroom o.0</p>
<p>3) they had cookies.
and yeah, it's a good opportunity to go on a housing tour. I found out that my roommates and a lot of other people never saw the res hall (triple) rooms until they moved in. (what a nice surprise...)</p>
<p>I MIGHT consider being a housing tour guide. Just for that one day. The benefits aren't too great, but if I were to do it, it would be to meet prospective engineering students. :)</p>
<p>I'm applying :)</p>
<p>I have a nice room guys!!!</p>
<p>and if there's an engineering girl who wants to stay over for the night, one of my roommates leaves every weekend :D</p>
<p>Ooh I'm an engineering girl. Can I stay in your room? :D
Just kidding, I'll see you there then.</p>
<p>haha boelter i know you're a girl, you borrowed my dress for formal ;)</p>
<p>Sorry I haven't returned it. I kind of .. was too .. big and made a hole in your dress. Oops.</p>
<p>I'll get you a new one when you go out with "that boy" again. <em>wink</em></p>
<p>Claremont Hotel on Tiverton Ave. Cheap, but...big mistake or decent enough at $79 for 2 beds?
(UCLA Guest House is full)</p>
<p>hey boelterhall sorry for that hole in the dress ;) little vietsta95148 is such a big dude sometimes :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Hope to meet any CCers soon. I'll be a tour guide .. I think moldau will be one too.</p>
<p>I'll be a housing tour guide also! Yay.</p>
<p>Bah, I really wish I could go but my spring break ends the week before, so I'd have school the next day (Monday). If I were much closer I'd consider it, but my father and I just decided to visit around April 10th.</p>
<p>hey boelter which training are you going to? </p>
<p>i think, maybe tomorrow's, since i don't want to miss house</p>
