<p>Is beartracks for transfer students only? </p>
<p>What is it like and what do I bring? </p>
<p>Does it include a lot of walking in the hot sun? Do we ever get to just sit in an air-conditioned room? </p>
<p>How important is it that I attend beartracks as a transfer?</p>
<p>I'm asking because it's been stupid crazy hot in LA these days and beartracks is starting September 6th and I dunno if the weather's gonna let up or not.</p>
<ol>
<li>Yes BearTracks if for transfer students only. </li>
<li>It's like any other orientation if that makes sense. If I'm mistaken, the BearTracks website may suggest what to bring for the 2 days. </li>
<li>Not at a lot of walking imo and yes you will sit in a room. </li>
<li>Yes, attend for your own success. It is just one day of the month anyways. </li>
<li>Considering how freaking hot it is now, I don't think it will start letting up until the end of September, so stay hydrated :)</li>
</ol>
<p>Another point, Give your counselor an easy time unless s/he really sucks. Participate! I don't know how different it is from regular Bear Facts but we're in the sun together so :) </p>

<p>Are the counselors for BearTracks our Admissions Counselors?</p>
<p>No, they are students for the most part. You'll have sessions with important administration throught your day(s) there.</p>
