In time you wasted typing that, you coulda served a better purpose by actually answering my question.

Block party - After party

I'm sure most of you guys are uninterested, but!...just in case I just so happen to be mistaken...There is a party taking place after Block party, which is on friday during the week of school.

I (amongst many others) are hosting it. I know the address, but it isn't confirmed yet.

You'll likely have a lot of fun if you're not straight edge...and even if you're a complete square, perhaps you will derive some amusment and entertainment from the stupid freshman who don't know their drinking limits (Thanks to their overprotective parents). This is a great way to get to know people. If you have almost no friends, I advise you to go and have a good time and I can promise you you will have at least ONE new friend. If you're open and not completely anti-social you'll come out knowing a lot more people.

Don't be shy and insecure, trust me, use this time to get to know people (having friends mean more opportunities guys)before you're all rotting in your death beds with no one but imaginary friends to cater to you.

Oh and there will be beer pong.

If you're too shy to request a beer pong game just find me and tell me and I'll get you in a game. I want you guys to have fun.

...and I THINK we're providing rides. If not, never fear, if I think you're a cool person I'll request a friend to give you a ride.

PM me if you're interested, I don't want to spew the address in public. Just know the address will be very near UCR.

Haha. No offense, but this post itself sounds very "square." But have fun! Your party sounds very organized.

Actually, I believe the post is more lengthy than it is wide, thusly making it very rectangular.

I was trying to be more presentable, sounds nicer.

[BoAFriend]

I've never really heard anyone ever say that they "love" UCR. Only place you'll probably ever see that is on Yelp (yes, UCR is actually on Yelp). And the people who said they loved the place were people who had graduated and were in the working world, reminiscing on the days of college.

Honestly, I guess UCR is just what you make of it. And whether you like the place or not usually depends on the city you're from. Like I, for example, come from a very Asian place, with lots of coffee shops, Asian restaurants, shopping plazas, etc. The city of Riverside doesn't have too much of anything Asian or anything close to "fun shopping", so I don't really have a good time (esp. when it comes to food)

On a slightly different note, I've noticed that the only people who tend to have a real blast at UCR are people in frats & sororities, but I guess that's mainly because UCR's social life is heavily based on frats & sororities. Iono

My advice would be to TRY (keyword: try) to start the school year with an open mind. You might end up having more fun than you'd think

[wangbeh]

^Sure hope the greeks know how to throw a real party. Just visited one of USC's the other day and i felt like i was in Victoria's Secret/the show on MTV with a lot of glamorous white girls. Except everyone was crossfaded. Needless to say UCR's party people are sure to be involved in those kinda things too huh..

Well said.

1. anyone know if we absolutely have to buy charter internet for the school apartments or can i buy a different one (like At&t) as long as it also works in riverside area?

2. i looked at, the Bio book today at the bookstore for Bio 5A. it came with like a cd i think that says " Student Access Kit Mastering Biology, Required for access to online materials" do i need this? b/c i can buy the book online cheaper but it won't have the cd or whatever. My prof is Leah Haimo.

Thanks

1. you dont gotta get charter.. but most people do for some reason...

2. that all depends on your prof, she may or may not issue assignments that can only be accessed through the CD... so i'd prolly email her ASAP to ask

[aznrules]

so we have to buy our own internet on the campus apartments? Is there WiFi provided? and is there WiFi in the study lounge?

[yourHERO]

oh woops, sorry i didnt make that clear.

it depends which apartments you're at. the full details of which apartments supply internet and which dont, are @ housing.ucr.edu.

off the top of my head, stonehaven & glenmor supply internet. also as far as wireless goes, theres a coverage map for the UCR's wireless service @ wireless.ucr.edu.

[aznrules]

Oh, okay. I also have one more question...could we pay our gas and electric bills online?

[yourHERO]

Oh, okay. I also have one more question...could we pay our gas and electric bills online?

yep. though depending on your campus apt.. it might be included. otherwise, once you set up with riverside public utilities and riverside gas company, you can do everything online and there's no extra charge.

[deadgiveaway]

Yeah it's with eis.

Huh? Are you in EiS...? And sorry, I was just amused because it does sound very organized. Different from short typical party invites like "come celebrate, address provided later, byob!"

[chiluvskk]

for the charter internet, do we need to sign a contract (like willing to use for X # of year)? if not, can we cancel at anytime?
b/c the charter guy told me its $29.99 a month for 12 months (a year) so does that mean i have to use them for a year? b/c I go home when summer comes so I just need internet for the 3 quarters of school.

thanks

No I just so happen to help host parties with them.
