ORIENTATION

UCI has done a great job getting us all ready for school as the date approaches.  I get regular emails about upcoming events, the student loan process, about the new computer that we all need, etc.  On March 5th, 2011, we had our orientation where we met all of our classmates (65 of us), officially met the staff, got a sense for what the classes will be like, met some existing and past students, and generally were given everything we'd need to be prepared to start school.  They fed us well during the all-day event (I think they could have done this in something less than a full day) and it was fairly painless.  Many students are concerned about the workload given their other commitments at work, home, etc.
