The class of 07 is divided into 8 sections of about 40 people (I'm in #7).

Orientation at UCLA consists of some low-density "information sessions" interspersed with scheduled feedings.

A special emphasis is given to warnings against becoming an alcoholic while in law school.

You get a free sippy cup for the library. I lost mine within 1 hour of receiving it.

Also access cards for Lexis and Westlaw. They're both online case databases, I have no idea what the difference is.

Otherwise the UCLA campus & facilities are pretty awesome, and I mean that in the true sense of 'creating awe'. I went to college on the east coast (Harvard) where the student facilities were rooted in the Puritan ethic of simple & functional.

Compared to Harvard, UCLA is Disneyland. The student union has a store that sells at least 100 varieties of snowboards. Upstairs is a US Post Office, Kinko's, travel agency, large videogame room, and a salon where you can get your bikini wax. Down the hall is a Krispy Kreme.

I have reading assignments for Monday. Yes after 12+ yrs, I have homework again.
