@famfam4:

1. I would suggest going for late morning/afternoon classes. You can avoid the morning-work traffic and morning classes just f-ing suck, especially if you have to commute.

2. It doesn’t really matter when discussion is. You don’t exactly learn new material in discussion, TAs just go over important points in lecture. Sometimes it helps if you have discussion right before a midterm in lecture. Other than that, there is really no difference.

-Have a good time at orientation tomorrow! It is so much fun. Be sure to bring a lot of sunblock and water. I was in Riverside earlier today and the weather was awful. Also, since you’re a commuter, definitely check out the student org fair on day 1. All of the fraternities/sororities (yeah, I know, I’m a little biased) and most clubs will be there. Join one and it will make life as a commuter way better.
