How much do you think orientation helped?

Yeah, reading some of these posts makes me realize how pitiful orientation was compared to other UCs. Most UCs had an overnight program and activities all day long. It sounds like the programs were not very interesting, but at least parents and students got a sense to what the college was offering. I would say orientation was only a success and worthwhile if you were able to explore the campus and students as well as the Santa Cruz surroundings on your own time.
