<p>I'm wondering about this since I'm flying or taking a train to LA...</p>
<p>Just to clarify: when does orientation end on the third day?</p>
<p>Also, what do students do during that time window you are allowed to arrive (7:45 am to 5:00pm on the first day)?</p>
<p>If my memories of Orientation 2009 serve me correctly…</p>
<p>Orientation should end at 5 or 6PM on the third day. After registering for class in the morning, nothing else important happens for the rest of the day. You’re given a tour of the campus, complete with the UCLA tradition and stories. I skipped this part because I had to drive back up to the Bay Area, so I ended up not learning the 8-clap (what a bad Bruin).</p>
<p>Also, here’s an hour by hour break down of what they do this year, posted by one of your classmates:</p>

<p>There isn’t really a window of that much time for students to arrive on the first day. I’d say try to be there by 8:30 at the latest.</p>
