Cool. So...what time are we suppose to be there for orientation? I can't remember and what should we bring/what are you guys bringing (blankets, pillows, sheets, etc)? I don't want to pack so much x_x

[bBy_sT4r]

^ you won;t need to bring sheets or anything beause it's provided but i was freezing at night because the blanket was so thin x_x but then again my air conditioning was like at 60 degrees and it wouldn't turn off. just make sure you bring shower stuff, pajamas, and a change of clothes


i think people whose scores don't show up on my.ucr.com yet shoud call ucr or collegeboard about it before orientation. because my friend had to register for math 9b even though she passed her calculus bc exam but the school didn't receive her scores~

^lolz. thought that was you but wasn't sure so i clicked on your myspace. x) love you.

***EDIT
might wanna bring sheets/pillows/blankets cuz it's FREAKING COLD at night and... well if you don't feel comfortable using used stuff. idk i'm like that lol.

oh and bring a towel for sureee.

[SHARK]

Bring a cellphone, or an alarm clock, or just something that will wake you up.

[SweetXSerendipity]

hahaha, I have the most annoying sounding alarm clock in the world and it's loud, I feel sorry for my roommate...and the neighborss...>.< I'm actually excited about orientation...

[chiluvskk]

i was searching for ENGL001B on classes.ucr.edu, but i could not find it?

i searched under CNAS-english composition, but it just went from ENGL 001A and skipped to 001C, but no B?

[maryyx3]

ENGL001B isnt offered in the fall. I believe its offered in the winter

[chiluvskk]

^ oh really, then i have to wait till winter? T_T

because i passed my ap english test so supposedly i could skip english 1A...

[deadgiveaway]

Yes, you do skip it, so that just means that you could take some other class instead of English in the fall, if you want. Then start with 1B in the winter, which is what a lot of people do.

[chiluvskk]

ah... i see

so what do you guys think i should take? i need two more classes to take with math 08B
i was gonna take chemistry or biology but i think i need math 9A to take it.....
my major is biological sciences by the way

[xWindwalkerx]

You should take the chemistry placement test and inquire if you can get Chem 1A. Because, frankly, you don't need to know that much math for chemistry, especially 001A.

Don't you need to take english as one of your classes.

Then, I suggest :
(If possible) > English, Chem, Math
(If not) > Math, English, (history, arts, etc. W/e is more interesting.)

[SHARK]

I have the same major (biological science) and I'm taking the following courses (or hope to):

Math 9A
Chem 1A
Intro to Computer Programming
Philosphy of Human Nature

thank you
i guess i'll be taking math, history, and psycholoy then lol since i can't take english 1b in the fall

does anyone know what credit they give for ap us history & ap government/politics?

[rit_chan]

^ if you're math8b or math9a you can enroll chem1a~ since they're both almost the same thing anyway

btw i just got back from the orientation. it was veryyyyy tiring and hot though. so much walking D: but i really liked the teacher/staff/advisors/counselers there. they are extremely friendly and are always there to help you when you need it. so if you guys are lost or confused about schedules and stuff, don't hesistate to ask. (:

[skillstoshow]

Just to let the people know that didn't take the MAE yet can still take it at the bear facts orientation and if you cant make it to the bear facts orientation they are going to give more tests during august and september.

[xWindwalkerx]

thank you

Ah, your taking english 1b. Man, now I feel behind . Maybe, I should of learned my grammar. We should take the course in the winter together ^^, lol, nevermind, man this sound so stalkerish, I should delete, meh lazy, comma ftw.

US history is worth anything, it fills some useless requirement for US history (which is fullfilled by taking basic high school US history). Oh, and Ap Gov/Pol jut fullfills an non-specified social science breadth requirement.

Yah, you should ask the advisors, they don't bite >>.

[SweetXSerendipity]

I have orientation tomorrow and I'm debating on whether to wear shorts or not. Hahaha, I don't want a tan form my shorts but it'll be hot...T.T

Oh well, they also take out pictures for our photo ids, yea? >.< So...attempt to look decent with the heat, the sun and walking...

Did anyone here actually watch the pre-orientation videos? I didn't, I watched some of them, hahahah...

[pokeymochi]

just curious, are most of you guys (incoming freshmen) taking 3 or 4 classes the first quarter?

[toffys191]

I'm taking 3 right now because Math was full so I will be adding either math or a breadth course during the summer, so that will be 4

P.S.

Is anyone else in the Chass Connect program for media, diversity, and childhood?

[chiluvskk]

rit_chan: omg thank you for telling me i can take chem lol, i really wanted to take it.

xWindwalkerx: hahaha you don't sound stalkerish. it would be fun to have class together!

i'll be taking just 3 classes. any of you freshmans taking 4?

by the way, at orientation, do they give us lunch? >< lol since i don't wanna bring like lee's sandwiches or something
