<p>are we suppose to go to orientation knowing exactly what we’re taking and bring a sketch of what classes we want to take? Or do we do it all together with the counselors?</p>
<p>@Helpmepleasee: They’re going to tell you to find a list of 25+ classes you’re interested in. You then plug them into a computer and see if they’re available. You should try to put down the codes of times you would prefer, and try to find some more obscure classes that may not fill up. It’s a good idea to go in with an idea of some classes you might want to take, but don’t count on getting all of them.</p>
<p>At orientation, you’ll be given the General Catalog and a booklet that contains the course schedule for fall quarter. Your orientation leader will tell you prior to your orientation time (which they’ll tell you) to look through the course schedule and write down the CRN numbers for the courses you want, so that they can just plug the number in and see if it’s still open or not.</p>
<p>that’s nice! thanks for the replies. So I’m group 6 so environmental area but no experience with chemistry, do i need to take the chemistry placement exam even if I don’t want to take chemistry till later in the year or even in sophomore year?</p>
<p>You have to place into chemistry and language classes
I just got back from orientation last week so a few free tips:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Give your leader the class CRN’s (registration numbers) of the classes you want the most first. I just spat out numbers and have a funky schedule i want to change. Whatever classes you do get to into (your leader will check 6 classes at a time) will provide the base of your schedule. I got into…i think it was my water studies class first, and it made my schedule heavy one day a week.</p></li>
<li><p>Write down the CRN’s of ALL the numbers for one class. Psychology for example will probably be full, so if the numbers go from 1111 to 1119, write down 1111-9, this way you can check if they’re is an opening later on Pass 2 if you happen to really want the class.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>You can also search for all the classes in a certain subject, and it will show every open section for every class. So if you try a class and it is full, you can click the “search” option and see if there are any other times available.</p>
<p>So @NewFaust did you take the chemistry placement exam and the language placement exam? </p>
<p>& What else did you do at orientation? Was it fun? It just seems like a bunch of registration and hassle :/</p>

<p>“8-9:30: Chemistry/Foreign Language Placement exam. If you’re not taking the exam, you can either do drop-in advising from orientation staff or get a campus tour.”</p>
<p>i can go on a campus tour instead? :o
I saw the schedule before but did anyone have “fun” at orientation? </p>
<p>& does anyone know how many floors residence halls are? like 2 floors to 6? I want to store my bike in my dorm rather than have it outside.</p>
<p>I think most people had a good time at orientation. Once you get through the lectures it’s a lot of free time, and everyone is willing to meet people. The Tercero res halls were all 4 stories.</p>
<p>You can just lay in your bed, i did that alot 
I advise you take the subject your best at. and STUDY. I didn’t know crap on the exam, and barely failed into workload, which i don’t want (and don’t have :D) </p>
<p>@helpme: Orientation was a blast! I met alot of people who were way smarter than me, and joined a club…sorta. There’s so much to do, people will come up to you and say hi im blah blah blah. I don’t make friends easy, but people will jump at the chance, it’s a great experience.</p>
<p>Haha thanks guys. So do we get into our little groups and go to dorms right away? How many students stay together? & I don’t know crape about chemistry so can I just fail that cause I need to start from beginning anyways?</p>
<p>When you first arrive, you have a couple hours to get a few things done (check in, take photo for ID card, take some survey.) You won’t actually meet with your group until after the first presentation. The rooms are doubles and triples. There might be singles but I don’t know of anyone who had one.</p>
<p>When I was at my orientation, I met a dude who had a single room all to himself on our floor in Tercero. My roomie and I were like *** lol. It was hella small and obviously could only fit a single bed.</p>
