<p>I’ve never been to LA and won’t be there until August 16th (18th?), the move in day.</p>

<p>I live in smack middle of nowhere, (AKA Oklahoma… right above texas) and it takes too much money for me to travel there for just few days…</p>

<p>I would visit during the summer for orientation but unfortunately, I’m going to be in a completely different country during the summer…</p>

<p>Is anybody else in a same situation with me? From what i heard, i don’t think i’m going to be dissapointed, but perhaps shocked…</p>

<p>You have to visit orientation because its mandatory. They give you placement exams and you also register for classes at these sessions ($140 for new students).</p>

3

<p>Orientation isn’t mandatory. You can take the placement tests and register during welcome week (aka in August)</p>

4

<p>I don’t go to LA very often, so I don’t know the city very well either…we can be lost together, if it makes you feel any better :)</p>

5

<p>I was mistaken. Just read the site again and yes, it’s not mandatory but recommended because you can register for classes before actually starting college.</p>

6

<p>i’m pretty much walking in blind, but i’m uber-excited!!!</p>

<p>My son has been driven around the campus & we’ve visited LA several times (family & friends live an hour away). He has never been on campus & won’t set foot on campus until he arrives in August to move into his dorm. He will attend the HI orientation 5/20, take placement tests & register then.</p>

<p>I’m walking in blind too. I’ve only been to LA twice, once when i was six and the other when i was nine. I bascially have no memory of the city. On top of that, I’ve only been to the States five times in my entire life. I’m from Singapore</p>

<p>Completely blind. Never even been to Cali…</p>

10

<p>Half-blind! I’ve been to LA several times but I’ve never been anywhere near the USC campus, so I don’t know anything and I can’t visit anytime soon. But who cares? The pictures look cool.</p>

11

<p>Yup join the ‘neverbeentocali’ club… I’m still super excited though</p>

12

<p>I bet its much more different than Oklahoma.</p>

13

<p>LOL pretty sure about that. Well, I lived outside of OKlahoma plenty so its not going to be that surprising, I hope (I lived in NY, TX, and Korea)</p>

14

<p>^ You won’t be too lost. Koreatown is freaking HUGE…it’s practically like you’re in Korea. Except with nicer weather.</p>

15

<p>I heard that from my friend who went there during the summer… >.< Because its so huge, wouldn’t that just contribute my lostness…??</p>

16

<p>Yeah, K-town is pretty big. And it’s only a 5-minute bus ride up Vermont.</p>

17

<p>Korea town is awesome. Very nice malls, lots of shopping and produce stores, and everyone speaks Korean so you’ll do just fine. :)</p>

18

<p>No don’t worry uyulove, it’s lovely! :slight_smile: It’s my favorite place in the world because the food is so good haha I’ll go with you to K-town sometime if you want!</p>

19

<p>my ex lives in LA, and he was telling me about korea town.</p>

<p>apparently that’s where he’s getting my fake ID so i can go to the 1920s club.</p>

<p>haha.</p>

20

<p>hahaha well, I don’t know about fake ID’s, but I imagine that the fake ID business is fairly booming in LA in general :)</p>

<p>1920s club?? Like…a club based on the 20’s? Flappers, etc.?</p>
