<p>hey guys, imma in the section 201, which is tmw... n was wondering how many of you guys are acutally planning to bring parents along the orientation..</p>
<p>unless this has become popular recently, when i went back in 06 i do not recall seeing any parents. They used to split you up into groups and you go to lots of places, i dont see how any of this is parent activities. Plus dont they have a seperate orientation for parents?</p>
<p>Mine is tomorrow as well, and I was wondering, if I don’t go, would I still be able to register for classes that night?</p>
<p>ic, thx malishaka…</p>
<p>cheba63… it says clearly, if you wanna reg the classes tonight. you gotta make to the orientation b4 1pm.</p>
<p>or it will be canceled with no refund.</p>
<p>i think it also said pretty clearly that parents are not invited to attend orientation.</p>
<p>So can I go, check in, pick up my bruincard, and then leave early, and still be able to register that night at home?</p>
<p>i think you have to BE there until the end to actually register for classes and no, parents should not be there. There is a separate parent orientation</p>
<p>do NOT bring parents. you are not a baby anymore.</p>
<p>what if your just really proud of getting in to UCLA and you want your parents there to thank them for their financial help?</p>
<p>guys… wut about girlfriend…?</p>
<p>I don’t know how fair it is to subject a significant other to that ordeal. I’m coming alone (like usual, bah ha, that’s going to get removed), but maybe I’m in the minority on that? I don’t think it’s that weird to bring parents though, especially if you live quite far away.</p>
<p>am i the only one who remembers reading something about this being for the student only?</p>
<p>grow a pair, people.
go it alone.</p>
<p>lol you don’t need to bring parents. They have their own orientation on a different day.
You will be split into groups according to your major. This is a chance to get to know your fellow classmates and network, make connections, friends, etc. This is no time to mingle with your boyfriend or girlfriend, or time to spend half the day taking pictures with your parents. Stick to your group, this will be your first opportunity to make friends.</p>
<p>This is stupid, you go alone. You don’t need someone to hold your hand.</p>
<p>=( …</p>
<p>Just kidding. I’m planning to stay at a cousin’s house for a day. I was thinking about the parent orientation but decided to shrug it off.</p>
